Campus police looking for suspects who vandalized Brigham Young statue

Brigham Young University campus police are searching for two people who they say vandalized an on-campus statue of Brigham Young, the private university’s namesake, Monday.

BYU Police Lt. Rich Christianson said there isn’t a lot of information available as the incident is still under investigation.

From what officials have collected, in the early hours of Monday morning, two individuals vandalized the Brigham Young statue by pouring red, latex paint over the front of the 10-to-12-foot statue and writing “racist” in spray paint across the pedestal.

The sign outside of the Abraham O. Smoot Administration Building was also vandalized with a large, red “X” in spray paint, Christianson said.
