"My aim for this mural... was of service , but also to assist our communities heal from a number of those problems that we are confronting," he stated .

Anguilu noted it was not the first time which the mural was defaced. He also called it"a reminder that we only need to keep working and keep to perform the job that we think in."

The mural was made following Floyd -- a 46-year-old Black guy and longtime resident of Houston -- has been murdered last May.

"Our town was calm," Finner said Thursday. "The verdict came , and it was the ideal verdict. Some of us are mad about it. But something, in Houston, we will stick together"
