The mural is bolted to a MassDOT fence along the Mass Pike. A store owner across the street from the sign has surveillance video of the incident.
“He just came up with a black can of spray paint, just started filling in the word black,” the store owner told WBZ. “Someone in the neighborhood caught it right afterwards, the paint was still wet and they started cleaning it off.”
