Police investigating racial slur sprayed on gate at L.A. home of LeBron James

Los Angeles police were called Wednesday to a home belonging to Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James to investigate a racial slur spray-painted on the front gate.

Police confirmed the incident, which is still under investigation, to ESPN. It was first reported by TMZ.

The Brentwood home is not James' primary residence. Capt. Patricia Sandoval, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department, told The Associated Press that James wasn't home at the time. She said the property manager told officers they believe the incident was captured on surveillance video.

Sandoval said an unidentified person spray-painted the N-word on the front gate.
