Graffiti artists vandalized 27 floors of an abandoned luxury skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles and an investigation is underway.
The Oceanwide Plaza video shows graffiti on almost every level of the building, located on Figueroa Street. The structure is located near the Crypto.com stadium, where the 2024 Grammy Awards will take place this Sunday.
It is unclear how many people were involved or how long the graffiti lasted.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Central Division staff met with property management and city representatives to discuss ways to better secure the property and add additional security measures.

Construction on the $1 billion Oceanwide Plaza began in 2015. The architecture firm behind the project, CallisonRTKL, said the project’s goal was to transform downtown Los Angeles from “an in-and-out destination to a place to live,” according to FOX. THE.
Work on the building stalled after the Chinese developer behind the project canceled it in 2019. Since then, it has remained unfinished.
