A mural of George Floyd in Toledo, Ohio has collapsed after reportedly being struck by lightning on July 13.

The mural was painted by artist David Ross just over a year ago to remember Floyd who was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

Conflicting reports have emerged over the cause of the collapse.

Some witnesses reported seeing lightning strike the areas while others say the age and natural deterioration of the structure caused the wall to crumble.

A George Floyd mural in Toledo, Ohio collapsed last week, after being reportedly struck by lightning on July 13th, 2021. The mural was painted by artist David Ross just over a year ago. Conflicting reports exist over the exact cause of the mural's collapse - witnesses had reported seeing lightning strike in the vicinity, while the Toledo Blade reported a city inspector as saying age and natural deterioration lead to the wall's collapse. Cleanup efforts have not been made yet, with bricks still piled next to the collapsed wall at Lagrange and Summit. Locals have said they plan to recreate the mural, either at this location or a new spot in Toledo, in the near future.
