At least two other people may have been involved, the chief said Sunday, but they have not yet been arrested.
The chief said he wanted to respond to those who where trying to minimize the vandalism as just kids fooling around. Shame on you, Mills said. Let me assure you that this is a substantial wound to members of our community.
The privately-funded mural in the 800 block of Center Street was approved last year by the Santa Cruz City Council after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer.
Sunday s meeting was called to inform the community about the vandalism and the ongoing investigation, Mayor Donna Meyers said.
