SEARCH FOR SUSPECT: Police are searching for a man they say defaced the Islamic Center of Southern California near Koreatown by writing hate-filled words on the building on Easter Sunday.
According to a community alert posted on Twitter by LAPD's Olympic Division, the suspect wrote anti-Islamic hate words on the ICSC building on Vermont Avenue just after midnight.
"We are deeply saddened and disturbed to announce that a hate crime against the Muslim Community at the Islamic Center of Southern California occurred early this morning on Easter Sunday in Los Angeles," read the statement. "This is an appalling act of vandalism targeting the center where innocent individuals gather for their daily religious observances."
Meanwhile, a photo of the suspect was posted by LAPD on Twitter, which was captured by surveillance video.
