HOUSTON -- Slain lawman Clint Greenwood was remembered Thursday with a traditional police funeral with honor guards, a riderless horse and fond stories as thousands of officers from as far away as New York gathered to pay their respects.

The funeral drew a motorcade of officers as flags stood at half-mast at Second Baptist Church at 6400 Woodway Dr.

Greenwood, who joined the Harris County Precinct 3 Constable's Office in January, had spent his career working with cops - as a prosecutor, as a Precinct 4 reserve deputy constable, as a high-level officer in the Harris County Sheriff's Office and as a defense attorney who represented police officers accused of wrongdoing.

His killer remains at large, even as dozens of officers from multiple agencies work through leads and evidence.

His funeral was held in the same church that served as host after the 2015 ambush killing of Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth.

For Greenwood's service, the church had prepared its 3,000-person main sanctuary as well as overflow areas. Deputies and reserve deputies manned the Precinct 3 office so that those officers and others would be able to attend the funeral.
