The FBI is searching for 10 suspects accused of vandalizing Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Heritage Sanctuary, where Martin Luther King Jr. once preached and Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., currently serves as senior pastor.
The vandalism occurred on the evening of July 3, 2022, a little over one week after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion policy to individual states.
The FBI’s Atlanta Field Office tweeted Thursday it is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspects’ arrests and convictions.
A group of 10 individuals dressed in all black approached the church that evening. Spray paint that was discovered after they left read, “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”
The suspects reemerged on surveillance footage without the dark clothing and eventually split up.
Warnock’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
