Baltimore Police are looking for a woman they say painted "Kill Cops" on a wall of the Baltimore Museum of Art Saturday.
The vandalism, painted in large capital letters, occurred at about 7 a.m. at the museum, which is located on Art Museum Drive in North Baltimore. A surveillance camera captured the suspect marking the building, and she was described as a black woman with dark pants and a white shirt who walked with a limp, police said.
The museum is cooperating with the police investigation, museum spokeswoman Anne Mannix Brown said.
The graffiti comes as national and local tensions remain high following the deaths of black men during police interactions, related protests, and the killing of five police officers last week during a demonstration in Dallas.
Police have no suspect in Saturday's vandalism. The graffiti was removed by workers from the adjacent Johns Hopkins University, police said.
