CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) The grave of notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone was defaced last week after vandals spray-painted the word EVIL on the headstone.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the paint was found around 1 p.m. on November 23rd at Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in Hillside.

A photo of the damage was shared by the Chicago History Instagram account.

According to police, the graffiti was removed the same day it was discovered.

Alphonse Gabriel Capone (aka Scarface) died of a heart attack on January 25th, 1947 at the age of 33. He gained notoriety during the Prohibition era and reigned as Chicagos crime boss for 7 years.

When seven gang members of a rival outfit were murdered in the Saint Valentines Day Massacre of 1929, Capone was dubbed Public Enemy No. 1.

He was convicted of 22 counts of tax evasion in 1931 and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.

This sounds like a sitcom plot where one of the good kids wants to do something edgy to be cool but doesn't actually want to offend anyone.

I dunno, I'm a bit tickled at the prospect of "Public Enemy No.1" being a 15 year old kid

He spent several years not existing for tax purposes.

They definitely took the opening Wikipedia paragraph and changed it a bit

Alphonse Gabriel Capone, sometimes known by the nickname "Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. His seven-year reign as a crime boss ended when he went to prison at the age of 33.

The last person to glorify Al Capone was Geraldo Rivera.

We shouldn't be allowing people to deface property that isnt theirs though.
