Philadelphia officer honors fallen heroes through art

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- One Philadelphia police Forensic Composite Artist who normally uses his talents to help catch criminals is now helping give some families closure.

Officer Jonny Castro, an army vet, creates portraits of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

Those portraits are then donated to the officers' families or their colleagues.

Action News Photojournalist Mike Niklauski has his story.
