A sculpture of Breonna Taylor in downtown Oakland went missing on Tuesday after first being vandalized this past weekend.
On Saturday, the bust of Taylor located at the city’s Latham Square was found broken in pieces after being installed two weeks ago, eliciting outcry from the local community. On Tuesday morning, Leo Carson, the artist who created the piece, discovered that what remained of the ceramic sculpted bust of Taylor had been completely removed from its pedestal.
Carson told KQED that the sculpture "has been stolen and likely completely destroyed."
