Terran Green Convicted in 2023 Shooting of Harris County Deputy as Sentencing Begins

Jurors now consider punishment, with prosecutors seeking life with the possibility of parole.

Overview

  • A Harris County jury found Terran Green guilty of aggravated assault of a public servant for shooting Deputy Joseph Anderson during an August 2023 traffic stop.
  • Deliberations lasted about 30 minutes before the verdict, and the punishment phase began shortly after and continues today.
  • Body-worn and dash camera footage of the stop was shown publicly for the first time at trial, depicting Green firing at least three shots and critically wounding Anderson.
  • The shooting led to a nearly 24-hour manhunt and barricaded standoff in northeast Harris County where another deputy and two U.S. Marshals were shot and wounded.
  • SWAT used a Rook ramming device to breach a house and extract Green; prosecutors highlighted his extensive criminal history, and related federal charges remain pending.
