Suspect in murder of Asst. Chief Deputy Clint Greenwood committed suicide last week, police say
BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- Officials released the name of Harris County Pct. 3 Assistant Chief Deputy Clint Greenwood's suspected killer. Authorities said 64-year-old William Francis Kenny committed suicide last week outside Ben Taub Hospital.
Baytown police said investigators developed information identifying Greenwood's killer. Police said they also received information that Kenny might be in downtown Houston. That prompted them to send officers to the 1910 Courthouse on Fannin Street this morning to attempt to locate Kenny.
After further investigation, officers learned that Kenny killed himself the day after he allegedly shot Greenwood. Police said he shot himself with the same gun that he used to kill Greenwood.

Police said it was the surveillance video of Kenny and the vehicle that helped them put the pieces together in the murder investigation.
Kenny was at the scene the day before, according to newly released video. The video was taken the day before the killing, and it shows Kenny drive up and then walk toward the area Greenwood was ambushed.
Greenwood was fatally shot April 3 outside the Baytown courthouse at the 700 block of West Baker. He radioed in for help, reportedly saying "I'm bleeding out." He was rushed to Memorial Hermann Hospital by Life Flight where he later died.
