CINCINNATI — A group of close to 20 people gathered at the Black Lives Matter mural in front of Cincinnati City Hall Tuesday night, sitting in the street.

WCPO's crew on the scene said it appeared that red paint had been poured on the mural.

Right now, it is unknown who defaced the mural that was paintedon Plum Street between Eighth and Ninth Streets by local artists almost a month ago.
