According to officials, Hinojosa spray-painted the words "gentrified..stop Space-X" just below the artwork. The mural, located on East Levee and 11th Street, cost $20,000 and was paid for by the Elon Musk Foundation.

A Cameron County judge is expected to have a status hearing on Hinojosa.

Several members of the community have rallied in support of Hinojosa. Protesters were even outside the courthouse at her last hearing.
