More than three years after Tiereney Nicole Anderson was shot and killed at the age of 34, a jury in Harris County, Texas, found her husband guilty of murder. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office said that Mark Anderson, 36, not only committed the slaying but also shot himself at the crime scene in a transparent effort to blame the victim for her own death.

The defendant’s trial, which lasted a week, ended with jurors concluding that Anderson shot himself and called 911 to make it seem as if his wife’s death was merely the result of self-defense during an argument. District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement, however, that jurors “saw through” the defendant’s “obvious ploy” and correctly held him to account.

“This man not only killed the woman he had sworn to love and cherish, but he faked a crime scene to make it seem like it was her fault,” Ogg said. “We’re glad that the jurors saw through this obvious ploy to escape accountability and decided to put him behind bars for decades where he won’t be able to hurt any more women.”

Mark Anderson was sentenced Friday to 38 years in prison.

Authorities said that the defendant murdered the victim with a .40-caliber pistol at their Houston home on Aug. 4, 2019.
