FBI Atlanta Announces $10K Reward for Information About Ebenezer Baptist Church Vandalism
FBI Atlanta is offering a reward and seeking information about a group of 10 people captured on video vandalizing the outside of the Ebenezer Baptist Church Heritage Sanctuary.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspects responsible for this crime. A link to surveillance video of the suspects is here.
On Sunday, July 3, 2022, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a member or members of the group sprayed the words “if abortions arent safe neither are you” on the side of the church. The group was dressed in all black.

Less than one minute later, cameras recorded the people walk away from the church and cross Auburn Avenue and towards the Memorial Rose Garden. A few minutes later, a group of 10 people walked from the area of the garden, no longer wearing black clothing.
Camera footage then shows the group separating into a group of 6 and a group of 4.
