More Racist Graffiti Is Found in Campus Area
Police are investigating a third instance of racist graffiti on signs and buildings around the city’s fraternity house district.
So far, detectives don’t know who is spray-painting the hate symbols around the campus community and have no leads or witnesses to the crimes, said police Sgt. Steve Odom.
Police discovered a swastika and Celtic cross, associated with the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, on an apartment building near campus. The words “White Power” were beside the symbols.
Earlier this week, the same symbols appeared on a garage four blocks away, the same street where a sign for an African American student cooperative was covered with similar racist graffiti.
