Mother seeks fresh probe into British woman’s fatal Texas shooting
Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old British woman, was fatally shot at her father Kris Harrison’s home in Prosper, Texas, on 10 January 2025. Her father said the gun accidentally discharged, and a grand jury declined to indict him. Lucy’s mother, Jane Coates, is now seeking a new investigation, arguing that unanswered questions remain about the circumstances of her daughter’s death.
Lucy’s boyfriend said she and her father had argued about Donald Trump’s impending inauguration before Kris took her to show her the gun. A UK inquest concluded that Lucy was unlawfully killed through gross negligence manslaughter, while experts questioned whether the central chest wound was consistent with an accidental shooting and raised concerns about Kris’s alleged alcohol consumption and changing account. Prosper police have said they will not reopen the case, citing the grand jury’s decision.
