CHICAGO (CBS) — Police were investigating after racist graffiti was found on several garages in the Beverly neighborhood.
Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) said the graffiti was discovered since late Wednesday night, written in marker on at least five garages along Claremont Avenue between 103rd and 105th streets.
“On a church, they wrote something anti-religious against God; Swastikas at a couple locations; the n-word at a couple locations,” he said.
On at least one garage, the graffiti included the names of at least two people, and the words “I want them dead.”
The alderman said he suspects it was “stupid kids” responsible for the racist graffiti while walking down the alley behind Claremont.
O’Shea said he wants them found, forced to apologize to homeowners, and ordered to perform community service.
The alderman said the Beverly neighborhood has been strongly integrated for several decades.
