Mural on Louisville park’s basketball court vandalized

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A new mural of Breonna Taylor on a recently renovated basketball court in Lannan Park in the Portland neighborhood has been vandalized.

The massive mural, which The Russ Smith Foundation and Metro Councilwoman Donna Purvis, D-5th District, partnered on to unveil June 4, appeared to have tire tracks on it in three different places, according to video and photos from Antonio Taylor.

Antonio Taylor, an online radio personality, 502 Livestreamer and Jefferson County Public Schools employee who has participated in Breonna Taylor protests, posted a live stream video Friday night and photos of the vandalism while he was at the court with several others.

He also spoke in the video with a man who runs a baseball league at Lannan Park, 901 N. 26th St., who said the vandalism had been present for "a couple days" and that "somebody drove across" the court.
