Gun Regulation Activist Arrested Allegedly for Graffitiing His Website on 9/11 Memorial
Jonathan Andrew Tijerina allegedly spray-painted a website URL across the memorial’s victims’ names, causing more than $2,550 in damage, police said.
- On Monday, police arrested Jonathan Andrew Tijerina, 31, for spraying red paint across bronze panels at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan, causing more than $2,550 in damage.
- Seeking to demand that President Trump and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani implement Universal Background Checks and a National Gun Registry, Tijerina cited a recent Florida mass shooting where 11 people were wounded as his primary motivation.
- Witness Duffy observed the suspect spraying "just stop killing kids" over victim names, an act Port Authority police captured on camera before the 9/11 Memorial & Museum restored the site.
- Awaiting arraignment Tuesday evening, Tijerina faces charges of criminal mischief, making graffiti, and possession of graffiti instruments, having previously complained his seven-day fast for 2 million housing units received no media attention.
- Tijerina's website advocates for "nonviolent civil resistance," claiming "civil resistance is proven to change laws and society," while the suspect remains in custody asserting his actions aim to compel government action on gun regulation.
