Paint-Covered No Trespassing Sign, Uptown Minneapolis

Paint covered No Trespassing sign
Paint covered No Trespassing sign.

A "No Trespassing" sign, splattered with pink paint, is affixed to a chain-link fence outside a parking ramp in Uptown Minneapolis. This location is significant as the site where Winston Smith was killed by law enforcement on June 3, 2021. The incident occurred during protests that followed the killing of George Floyd, and the sign's defacement may reflect the broader unrest and public sentiment at the time. The area around the parking ramp has been a focal point for activism and remembrance.
