The Brief
LOS ANGELES - A mural honoring the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in downtown Los Angeles has been vandalized again.
What we know:
The artwork, located on Main and 14th Street, was tagged with white spray paint just days after being restored to its original state on Friday, May 30.
Los Angeles-based artist Louie Palsino created the "Mambas Forever" piece, which had just been restored days ago. It took him weeks to repair the mural, for which he created a GoFundMe page to cover the costs.
