A car was defaced with racist and vulgar graffiti Monday in Fayetteville.
The car was one of multiple cars in the parking deck on Hay Street that had graffiti spray-painted on it.
“I had to turn around, I thought I was at the wrong car,” One of the victims said. “I turned and looked again. I couldn’t process why silver spray paint would be on the side of my car.”
The woman, who wished to be identified as “Mrs. Shirley,” said her 2023 Ford Explorer had racist signs, including the KKK sign and a swastika, spray-painted on the back and sides. Vulgar images were also spray painted on the car.
Mrs. Shirley, a 22-year Army veteran, thinks her car was targeted because she keeps her VFW hat in the window.
“You need to get a clue. You are attacking people who live here, who protected this country and attacking people who are innocent,” Mrs. Shirley said.
While there is no official reason why Mrs. Shirley’s vehicle was targeted, she says the incident has her worried for her well-being.
“I don’t feel safe. Never in my life have I had a safety issue in my mind,” she said.
