Oklahoma City Police Capt. Bo Mathews said the graffiti at the Lincoln Boulevard building was similar to the language and symbols used at the Classen Boulevard building and was in the same color of paint.

“It is very disheartening to see our building defaced by this type of hateful message which is so out of place for Oklahoma,” said Bill Anoatubby, governor of the Chickasaw Nation, based in Ada. “We believe it is important to move past this isolated incident and focus our attention on the important work we do.”

Mathews said the vandalism is being investigated as a hate crime. He said security cameras at the Lincoln Boulevard building captured images of a person of interest. That person appears to be female, he said.

Police released photos of the woman from the surveillance video and asked for the public’s help in identifying her. Anyone with information can submit it anonymously through Oklahoma City Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300 or online at okccrimetips.com.

The vandalism was met with broad condemnation.

Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt called the hate language “abhorrent.”

“It does not reflect who we are as a state,” Stitt said.
