Terran Green accused of shooting

Green was accused of shooting a Harris County deputy, two U.S. Marshals deputies and an officer with the Gulf Coast Violent Offender Task Force.

The backstory:

In August 2023, a Blue Alert was issued for Green in connection to the shooting of Harris County Deputy Joseph Anderson.

Authorities said 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. 

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.

Dig deeper:

Green was charged with aggravated assault against a public servant and four counts of attempted capital murder of a police officer. He was found guilty of aggravated assault of a public servant and the other four charges were dropped.
