Family, police and community members gathered on Saturday to memorialize a young Philadelphia Police officer killed in the line of duty seven years ago.
Police Officer John Pawlowski, 25, was gunned down at Broad Street and Olney Avenue Feb. 13, 2009. Pawlowski, a five-year veteran, was responding to a dispute between a man and a cabdriver when he was shot to death.

Dozens gathered at the intersection where the officer was killed on Saturday to remember Pawlowski, whose wife was pregnant with his son when he was killed.
Pawlowski's killer, Rasheed Scruggs, already a convicted felon at the time of Pawlowski's killing, was convicted in 2010 of murder and is serving life without parole.
