A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando, Florida, that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state late Wednesday night. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016, in what was the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

The crosswalk was installed as part of a memorial honoring the victims of the June 2016 shooting, when a gunman opened fire at the LGBTQ club, killing 49 people and injuring more than 50.
