Harris County Jury Sentences Terran Green to Life for 2023 Deputy Shooting

Prosecutors said they would have sought the death penalty had the deputy not survived.

Overview

  • Jurors reached the punishment decision on Wednesday after earlier convictions that included four counts of attempted capital murder and a charge of aggravated assault of a public servant.
  • Deputy Joseph Anderson was shot multiple times during a 2023 traffic stop in northeast Harris County but survived and later returned to work, declining a victim-impact statement.
  • The shooting triggered a Blue Alert and a nearly 24-hour manhunt that led authorities from the Homestead Road stop to locations across north Harris County.
  • Officers tracked Green to a Humble rental home, where a standoff unfolded and two Deputy U.S. Marshals along with a Gulf Coast task-force officer were shot and wounded.
  • Tactical teams used Rook breaching machines to dismantle parts of the residence before Green surrendered and was taken into custody.
