According to Hiphopdx, police are looking to have it removed due to Von’s alleged connection to the Black Disciples gang.

“We might have to take down that King Von mural,” Martinez shared. “And I’m gon’ tell y’all why it really actually bothers me. So, if you guys know my story or know the Mural Movement and how we got started, y’all know how important it is to do specific things like art in specific areas, especially Black and Brown communities.

“So, that’s how the Mural Movement started. We’re all about representation, beautifying communities in need, especially underserved communities that don’t have art or murals.”

August 18th Martinez shared a post on instagram showing a petition  to keep King Vons mural up on O’block. She is standing against police to let the community decide.

“We don’t want this mural to come down and need your support by signing the petition!” the description states. “We want to show how much the community needs this and we The People, want it! The police have been visiting the store owner and want him we remove it.

:We can’t allow that to happen! Let’s show the store owner and community love and support by coming together to support them in signing the petition to keep it!”

It ended with, “Remember we can make anything happen when WE THE PEOPLE come together!”

As of right now 1,400 people have signed the petition. #Socialites do you think its right that police are trying to take the late rapper’s mural away?
