Messi mural: how to visit David Beckham's massive commissioned art wall in Miami
David Beckham is arguably more excited than anyone about Lionel Messi’s arrival to Miami. So much so, the MLS team co-owner commissioned a massive art mural with the likeness of the soccer superstar right in the heart of Miami (Wynwood neighborhood).
As Messi is set to be unveiled on July 16 at Inter Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium, it’s only a matter a time before masses of visitors flock to visit the large art installation to honor whom most consider the best soccer player of all time.
Where is Messi’s Miami mural located?
To find the mural, one must make their way to the Wynwood neighborhood. Despite it’s massive size, it can still fail to stand out in the trendy modern arts district of the city. The wall with Messi’s likeness is located exactly at 148 NW 28th St. It is located just above a retail location and next to a new apartment complex.
Victoria Beckham, David’s wife, gushed over her hubby’s latest art venture on Instagram: “Only arrived a few days ago and he got straight to it! Is there anything he can’t do?!”. The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Galaxy star even got to partake in its creation, stroking a brush under the artist’s supervision.
The Beckhams will spend the next weeks in Miami, despite it being ‘low season’ due to nearly record-high temperatures engulfing South Florida. However, nothing will make the proud co-owner not be in the stands for the monumental debut of Leo Messi: the soon-to-be biggest superstar to ever grace the MLS.

Miami Police lieutenant arrested on domestic violence charge
A Miami Police lieutenant has been arrested on a domestic violence charge after he allegedly spit at and slapped his wife.
Lt. Thomas L. Carroll, 47, was arrested Saturday on a battery – domestic violence charge, an arrest report said.
According to the report, Carroll and his wife were involved in an argument when Carroll allegedly spit at her around 10 times.
He also allegedly slapped her twice in the face, the report said.
The wife ran out of the house and called police. The report said she didn’t have visible injuries but added that two witnesses corroborated her allegations.
Thomas was booked into jail and later released. Attorney information wasn’t available.
In a statement, Assistant Chief of Police Armando Aguilar said Carroll was relieved of duty pending further investigation.
“The Miami Police Department is committed to serving victims of domestic violence and holding the perpetrators of such crimes accountable for their actions. When acts of domestic violence are perpetrated by law enforcement officers, they are especially disheartening, as they represent a breach of the sacred trust placed in us by the people we serve,” Aguilar said in a statement. “We wish to thank the victim and witnesses in this case for coming forward. We are committed to ensuring that a thorough investigation is conducted and that the victim receives all necessary support throughout this process.”
Aguilar said Carroll was at one point an assistant chief of police but has been a lieutenant in the field operations division since 2023.
