Jury Convicts Man in 2023 Shooting Injuring Harris County Deputy, Three Officers
A jury found Terran Green guilty of shootings that wounded four law‑enforcement officers, a Harris County deputy during a northwest Harris County traffic stop and three officers in a five‑hour Humble standoff.

A Harris County jury returned guilty verdicts against Terran Green for shootings that injured four law‑enforcement officers in August 2023, court coverage and local reporting show. Prosecutors had charged Green with four counts of attempted capital murder related to the incidents; the court is scheduled to reconvene to begin sentencing proceedings on Thursday, according to local coverage.
The first incident occurred during a routine traffic stop in northwest Harris County in August 2023, when a Harris County deputy was shot and wounded; local television reporting described the deputy as then‑29 years old. Authorities issued a Blue Alert that month seeking Green and another man; the other man was later taken into custody, released, and is no longer considered a suspect, local reports said.
After the traffic stop shooting, law enforcement located Green at a home in Humble, Texas, triggering a five‑hour standoff that involved SWAT, U.S. Marshals and the Gulf Coast Violent Offender Task Force. During that Humble confrontation, three additional officers were shot and injured, two U.S. Marshals deputies and one officer with the Gulf Coast Violent Offender Task Force, bringing the total number of law‑enforcement personnel wounded across the two incidents to four.
Green’s case has been on the public record since a court appearance documented in Houston Chronicle courtroom photography showing Terran Green, identified there as 34, appearing in court on Aug. 21, 2023 while charged with four counts of attempted capital murder. Other local coverage described Green as 36 at the time of the conviction; the age discrepancy appears across reports and should be clarified in official court or booking records.

Local television station FOX26 was present during the verdict reading, and social posts from local outlets posted immediate headlines noting the conviction. Reporting identified the shootings as occurring in two separate incidents, the traffic stop and the Humble standoff, that resulted in four officers being shot and the subsequent attempted capital murder charges.
Sentencing is the next phase of the case; local reporting indicates the court will reconvene on Thursday to begin Green’s sentencing trial. Court dockets and official charging documents will be needed to confirm precise dates, the defendant’s age, and the formal wording of the convictions before the sentence is imposed.
