The FBI is searching for ten suspects accused of vandalizing Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Heritage Sanctuary, where Martin Luther King Jr. once preached and Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., currently serves as senior pastor.
The vandalism occurred on the evening of July 3, 2022, a little over one week after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion policy to individual states.
The FBI's Atlanta Field Office tweeted Thursday it is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspects' arrests.
A group of ten individuals dressed in all black approached the church that evening. Spray paint that was discovered after they left read, "If abortions aren't safe, neither are you."

The suspects re-emerged on surveillance footage without the dark clothing and eventually split up.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was a co-pastor at the church from 1960 until he was assassinated in 1968. Warnock, who won reelection to the U.S. Senate earlier this month, has been the senior pastor there since 2005.
Warnock's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
