Mother Demands Reopen of Daughter's Texas Shooting Case
15 Mar
Summary
- British mother seeks reinvestigation into her daughter's fatal shooting in Texas.
- Inquest ruled daughter was unlawfully killed by her father.
- Texas police did not test father for alcohol after the incident.
A British mother is demanding that US detectives reopen the investigation into her daughter's fatal shooting in Prosper, Texas. Lucy Harrison, 23, was killed on January 10, 2025, just hours before she was scheduled to fly home. Her mother believes the original police investigation was insufficient.
An inquest in the UK concluded that Lucy was unlawfully killed by her father, Kris Harrison, who had been drinking. The coroner described his actions as 'reprehensible' and noted that Texas police failed to test him for alcohol, despite smelling it on his breath.
While Texas authorities initially deemed the shooting accidental and a grand jury brought no charges, the mother is seeking a fresh probe. She questions the handling of the investigation, particularly the lack of an alcohol test for her ex-husband at the scene.
