Florida police are investigating vandalism at Old Memphis Cemetery in Palmetto, a predominantly African American site established in 1904. Manatee County authorities say 17 gravesites were damaged: headstones were knocked down and red spray paint reading “Trump” and “DeSantis” was applied to tombs. Detectives believe the attacks happened within the past few weeks, and no arrests have been reported. Relatives of those buried described “extreme anger” and said the political names suggest possible motivation.
