(CNN) A billboard calling for action in the killing of Breonna Taylor was vandalized with red paint on Tuesday in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine put up 26 billboards around the city earlier this month demanding that the Louisville police officers involved in her death be arrested and charged.
Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was shot multiple times in March by police who were executing a no-knock warrant at her apartment.
The billboard featured a portrait of Taylor that is on the cover of the September issue of the magazine. It's the first time Winfrey was not featured on the cover of her namesake magazine in its 20-year history.
CNN affiliate WLKY reported that the red paint appeared to have been splashed across Taylor's forehead sometime before noon on Tuesday.
Louisville Metro Police Sgt. Lamont Washington told CNN on Wednesday officers went to the Irish Hill neighborhood to inspect the billboard at about 3 p.m. after hearing about the vandalism on social media.
The billboard had been cleaned or replaced by the time officers arrived, Washington said.
Washington said that police would talk to the billboard company to see if they wanted to file a report.
The 26 billboards -- one for each year of Taylor's life -- urge people to "Demand that the police involved in killing Breonna Taylor be arrested and charged" and point them to the social justice organization Until Freedom's website.
None of the officers involved in the March 13 shooting have been charged.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron met with members of Taylor's family last week. He was named a special prosecutor in the case in May and the FBI has also opened an investigation.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Detectives reported going after a suspected criminal organization with several sources of revenue. They seized weapons — an AK-47 pistol and a Smith & Wesson M&P handgun — blank checks, debit and credit cards, cell phones, iPads, jewelry, designer handbags, a stolen vehicle, and over $150,000 in cash, police said.
Detectives linked the suspected gang members to nearly 30 residential burglaries in South Florida. To foil their operation, detectives simultaneously executed three arrest warrants and search warrants in Broward County, the Hollywood Police Department announced on Tuesday.
The three suspects, who are ages 18 to 21, are accused of belonging to the criminal organization that aside from armed burglaries was also linked to financial fraud.
Lata identified the three suspects as 18-year-old Tremaine Raekwon Hill, 19-year-old Tyrek Davontae Williams and 21-year-old Zion Odain Denvor Hall, who is also known as rapper 7FN. Deputies are holding them without bond.
All three men were already on pretrial release for previous offenses and carried out the burglaries while wearing ankle monitors that track their locations, police said.
“This investigation is still ongoing and may lead to additional charges and arrests,” Lata said.

The L.A. County D.A.'s Office is reviewing possible assault charges against Tory Lanez for his alleged involvement in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting ... TMZ has confirmed.
The D.A.'s mulling over a charge of felony assault with a firearm after Megan said she was shot back in July as she exited the SUV she was riding in with Tory. As you probably know by now ... he was arrested, but only charged with possession of a firearm. Now, it's possible he'll face the additional charge after prosecutors asked the LAPD to further investigate the incident.
TMZ broke the story ... law enforcement sources told us LAPD detectives opened an investigation into Tory in July after he allegedly shot Megan in the foot as she exited his chauffeur-driven SUV on the heels of an argument that erupted inside the ride.
As we reported, sources connected to Tory say there were mitigating circumstances -- & based on what we know ... IF he's charged for it, we believe Tory's going to say it was an accidental shooting.
However, charging him might have gotten a little more difficult because of what Megan said hours earlier on Tuesday.
She posted pics of her gruesome foot injury after the alleged shooting, but in her caption made the point of saying she had her back to the SUV when she was shot in the heel ... which would mean she didn't see who fired at her.
That's something she hadn't previously said, and it potentially complicates the D.A.'s ability to charge an alleged trigger person.
Lanez was previously arrested & booked for possession of a concealed weapon -- the handgun cops say they found in the vehicle -- & now he may be in the crosshairs criminally for the shooting itself.

SAN ANTONIO — A southside family woke up late Friday night to a man in their home, wearing tactical gear and holding a gun.
The victims said the man was their landlord trying to use force to evict them.
Jesse Servin said around midnight, his girlfriend and their three children were sound asleep when they heard a loud bang.
“At first I thought we were getting robbed,” said Servin.
Servin said he realized someone had broken down the door.
“That's when I heard a scream, and my bedroom door was also kicked in,” said Servin. “He forced himself in with the rifle and bulletproof vest, and an LED flashlight so I couldn't see who it was until I heard his voice.”
Servin said he recognized the voice as his landlord and owner of the home, Alberto Trevino.
Servin said his two-year-old child was sleeping in the same room as he was, so he grabbed her trying to protect her from the man holding a gun, standing in the doorway of his bedroom.
He said Trevino was trying to evict them from the house.
“He was screaming at us in Spanish. You know, ‘Get out. Get out,’” said Servin.
The father of three said he followed Trevino’s orders and walked out the front door.
“I was shaking, so I followed his demands and tried to keep my kids and my girlfriend away from the whole issue,” said Servin.
Police arrived a few minutes later and were able to deescalate the situation. Servin's girlfriend caught the moment on video when police arrived and officers confiscated Trevino's firearm.
Servin said since the pandemic began he’s hit hard times. He worked at his father’s restaurant, but when his father died a few months ago, they lost the business, and Servin was out of work.
San Antonio Police said Trevino was arrested and charged with Burglary and Intent Assault.
He has since bonded out, leaving Servin fearing for the safety of his children.
Servin said Trevino lives next door to the house.
“We just don't feel safe at all, like he's keeping an eye on us every minute,” said Servin. “I mean, he might end up just finishing what he started.”
The restaurant and bar industry has suffered this year, making it hard for Servin to find steady income.

An 11-year-old girl who was once featured in a video praying for an end to gun violence has died after being shot in Madison, Wisconsin.
Anisa Scott was riding in a car Tuesday morning when a shooter fired into the vehicle, striking her in the head. Police believe the driver of the car with Anisa in it was the intended target.
On Thursday, her family removed her from life support at 11:11 a.m., signifying the date the shooting occurred and her age.
In the wake of her death, an anti-gun violence video that she appeared in back in 2016 has received more than 30,000 views.
“I just want to go outside and play, like a 7-year-old is supposed to do. I don’t want to die,” Anisa said in the video. “They won't stop killing. They won't stop it. God, can you make it better?"
Rafael Ragland, a local filmmaker and father of Anisa’s 5-year-old half-sister Anija Ragland, said he filmed the video with then 7-year-old Anisa after she had just come back from a trip to Chicago with her mother and heard about all of the violence there.
“I’m so confused honestly because the same thing she was praying about, praying that it doesn’t happen to her, then it turns around and happens to her,” Ragland said. “It just devastates me.”
Two male suspects — one 16, the other 19 — have been arrested in Anisa's death, Madison police said Friday.
The 19-year-old, Perion Carreon, was arrested Wednesday, while the 16-year-old, Andre Brown, was arrested Friday. Both are from Madison and were arrested on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, both as a party to a crime.
If he’s charged with first-degree intentional homicide, Brown would be charged in adult court even though he is only 16. State law requires anyone 10 or older charged with first-degree intentional homicide to be charged as an adult.
During an initial appearance in Dane County Circuit Court Tuesday, a court commissioner set Carreon's bail at $2 million in connection to the homicide. Additional charges Carreon faces in three separate cases had their bail amounts set at the same appearance. Those total $135,000.
Minutes later, Brown's bail was set at $1.5 million during his initial appearance.

Stacey Dash and her husband both want their marriage off the books like it never happened ... and the mister's claiming he only said "I do" while in a spiritual trance.
Stacey's estranged lawyer hubby, Jeffrey Marty, filed new court docs in response to Stacey's divorce petition ... and he's asking a judge to annul the marriage, something Stacey herself doesn't appear to oppose.
Jeff claims he only took his vows after Stacey's pastor put some serious religious pressure on him. He says they got hitched on April 6, 2018 -- but that's only because 10 days prior, he claims her pastor "unexpectedly and suddenly proclaimed that it was God's will" they get hitched.
Anyway, Jeff says that his ability to consent to the marriage was hijacked by the use of "hypnotic prayer techniques." Jeff doesn't describe the techniques or how he was programmed to marry Stacey. He also says there was pressure from other clergies to tie the knot.
Now, for Stacey's part ... she and her attorneys don't fully admit to what Jeff claims here about the hypnotism and all ... they say he didn't show any unusual signs about his mental state at the time. But, she's not fighting him and she too is asking the judge to annul the marriage ASAP.
That might be best -- their marriage was pretty rocky, and that's putting it lightly.

All eyes were on LeBron James and his teammates before they took the court for their first playoff game of the season ... with the Los Angeles Lakers players sending a powerful message with his wardrobe:
"Make America Arrest The Cops Who Killed Breonna Taylor"
The demand comes in the form of a modified Donald Trump "MAGA" hat ... which POTUS made famous during his first campaign for presidency.
Of course, the Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers are tipped-off for their first-round match-up in the NBA Playoffs from the Disney World bubble ... and LeBron has vowed to use his platform to raise social justice awareness throughout the season.
As we previously reported, a number of NBA superstars spoke with Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, last month ... and many have used their platform to demand justice.
The hat is also clearly another jab from James at POTUS -- and it's not the first time. LeBron has not his disdain for the President ... he's previously referred to him as a "bum" and a "clown."
LBJ also chose to wear a shirt with the phrase "by any means" ... as well as a pair of Nike Air Force 1s designed by African artist Karabo Poppy.
Talk about making a statement.
