Two black female students at a California high school were identified as the culprits in writing racist graffiti that included the N-word and had drawn condemnation from school district officials.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office identified the two students as responsible for the graffiti written on the wall of Rosemont High School in Sacramento, California, by reviewing school surveillance footage.
The graffiti said, “All n*****s should die,” and was written in pencil.

The sheriff’s office said it was consulting with the district attorney’s office to determine whether or not to pursue criminal charges.
The offensive vandalism had drawn condemnation from school district officials after it was discovered on March 23, with Sacramento City Unified School District board president Christina Pritchett saying the board was “unified and committed to providing a safe and anti-racist learning environment for our students.”
“We fully denounce all racist behavior, and will continue to do whatever we can to support our African-American community members who need to feel welcomed and loved at our schools,” Pritchett said.
Likewise, district superintendent Jorge Aguilar also condemned the graffiti, saying, “Racist incidents will not be tolerated in our schools.”

The incident was the second instance of racist graffiti by black students in Sacramento schools in as many months.
In February, a black student at another high school was found to have written “colored” and “white” over two water fountains at the school.
