HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A Houston man has been sentenced for the 2023 shooting of multiple law enforcement officers, including a Harris County deputy and U.S. Marshals.

Terran Green sentenced for law enforcement officer shooting
The backstory:
In August 2023, a Blue Alert was issued for Green after he shot a then 29-year-old Harris County deputy, Joseph Anderson.
Green shot deputy Anderson during a routine traffic stop in northeast Harris County on Homestead Road near Eastex Freeway. He fled from the scene, which led to a nearly 24-hour-long manhunt.Â
The vehicle linked to Green, a blue Ford Escape, was located by authorities parked in an apartment garage on Airtex Avenue, about 10 miles away from the shooting scene.
A “Blue Alert” was issued for Green, which happened when a person is wanted for either killing or causing severe harm to a law enforcement officer. It is sent out to the public’s mobile devices as a way to seek assistance in locating the suspects.
The manhunt led law enforcement officers to a rental home in Humble on Silhouette Ridge where they became involved in a five-hour standoff with Green which ended around 11:45 p.m.
During the standoff, Green shot two Deputy U.S. Marshals and a Gulf Coast Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force officer, the U.S. Marshals reported at the time.
Green was taken into custody after surrendering.
