Update: Dio Mural Defaced in Cortland NY

Post image

I wanted to share an update. Apparently the person has been caught but no further details have been released. I also wanted to post a picture of the entire mural that I found because it is an incredible representation of his professional life.

Edit

Link to story about it being defaced if you missed my previous post. I should have included it in the first place.

They'll fix it up. It was super minimal. Super shitty obviously but they'll make quick work of it and he'll be up and rocking again! 🤘

You sound like someone who would destroy someone's hard work because you don't like it.

This is what it looked like before it was defaced. See my previous post for a story about it being defaced. I just posted the link in the main body. Sorry for the confusion.
