Mural honoring Vanessa Guillen outside of Fort Hood defaced again, nonprofit officials say the mural site has since been cleaned and repaired.
A mural honoring slain Texas soldier Vanessa Guillen was defaced again, according to a social media post from the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).
This is not the first time the mural, which stands in Killen, Texas, outside of Fort Hood where Guillen was last assigned before her murder, has been defaced, according to LULAC.
In October, the mural was attacked just hours after what would have been Guillen’s 21st birthday.
“After the Vanessa Guillen Memorial Mural was once again attacked yesterday, we LULAC would like to thank Sgt. Willams for cleaning up all the broken candles and damage done, and leaving the mural once again beautiful and radiant,” the LULAC said in a Facebook post. “We did lose the candle heart with crosses made by Cervantes, but that is okay. Thank you also to Sick Made Tattoo Parlor and Sergio Palomino home of the mural.”
