PITTSBURGH — An investigation is underway after a slur was spray-painted onto an auto-body shop owned by a community activist.

Pittsburgh Police said they were called to the 7600 block of Finance Street in Homewood on Wednesday.

Community activist William Anderson said it was his auto body shop that was vandalized.

Someone used black spray-paint to write a slur on the building along with other words and non-legible symbols.

“JUX WAS HURE, BBT D4C” was written next to the slur.

Anderson told police the last time he was at the building was Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pittsburgh Police by calling 412-665-3605.

Anderson’s auto body shop was also the target of a burglary in December.
