MARTINEZ, Calif. – Black spray paint defaced a memorial at Howe and Old Orchard roads last week, destroying a picture of Martinez Junior High School student Jenna Betti, who was killed in a 2014 train accident near the area.
According to Her Smile, an organization founded in Betti’s memory that helps victims of tragedy, the photo will be promptly replaced.
It is unknown if the graffiti incident is related to another incident that occurred at Alhambra High School last week. On the outdoor art wall at the school, someone scribed in large black letters, “King Trump, Bernie is a Commie.”
That sentiment was quickly painted over.
No suspects have been identified as of presstime.
