BAYTOWN, Texas – Second Baytown Church is hosting a community prayer service Wednesday after Harris County Precinct 3 Assistant Chief Deputy Clint Greenwood was shot and killed Monday near a Baytown government building.
The group will gather in the worship center of the church at 6227 North Main St. from 6:30 until 7:30 p.m. to pray for all law enforcement and first responders.
The prayer service is open to the public.
Greenwood, a 30-year veteran, was killed Monday on his way to work.
Greenwood was taken to Memorial Hermann, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.
Five days before he was killed, Greenwood told officials in the county attorney’s office that he believed a man he’d helped send to jail was a threat to him and his family.

The man he was talking about is currently a prisoner in the Harris County Jail, Eric Baumgart, a former investigator for the Harris County Public Defender’s Office and a reserve deputy with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.
Greenwood help convict him of tampering with a government document and with providing private security services without a license in 2014.
Baumgart, 47, was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years of probation. He began serving his sentence in January.
When asked if he wanted Clint Greenwood dead -- or had anything to do with his murder, Baumgart said, “Of course not.”
He said he expects investigators will be talking to others who were involved in the lawsuit with him.
Greenwood was once a major with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
A reward of $65,000 is being offered for information leading the arrest of the shooter.
