The mother of one of three Pittsburgh police officers fatally shot in April said someone has been defacing her son's grave.

Frances Kelly said she has found roses she put next to Officer Eric Kelly's grave cut up with scissors and that vandals have tossed wreaths left at the grave, as well as a small stuffed animal and balloons left there.

Richard Poplawski, 22, remains jailed on murder charges for allegedly gunning down Kelly and fellow officers Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo II after Poplawski's mother called 911 about a fight she was having with her son.

City police are now patrolling Allegheny Cemetery in the city's Lawrenceville section to try to catch the vandals.
