The mother of the woman fatally shot by her Texas father during her visit to the US amid a politically-charged argument blasted the local police for not bringing up charges in her daughter\u2019s death despite \u201cphysical evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jane Coates was left with overwhelming anger after Kris Harrison was not charged in the 2025 death of their 23-year-old daughter, Lucy Harrison, at the fiber-optics company executive\u2019s home in Prosper, Texas. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly frustrating because there was physical evidence there, that there was an autopsy that said Lucy was shot through the heart at a downward trajectory,\u201d the heartbroken mother told Sky News<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n Lucy Harrison was fatally shot in the heart when her father, Kris Harrison, was showing off his handgun inside his home in Prosper, Texas, on Jan. 10, 2025. Facebook<\/p>\n Lucy Harrison, who lived with her mom in Warrington, England, was killed by a gunshot wound to the heart as she was preparing to fly back to the UK on Jan. 10, 2025. <\/p>\n Kris Harrison, 52, was initially investigated for possible manslaughter, but officials ultimately did not bring any criminal charges in the case.<\/p>\n Lucy\u2019s death was ruled accidental<\/a> by a Texas grand jury last June \u2014 a decision Coates called \u201cbaffling\u201d and \u201cbeyond comprehension.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI feel that she has been so let down. I feel anger, but my anger isn\u2019t shouting and raging,\u201d Coates said. \u201cI have a steely determination to call this out and to make sure the truth is heard.\u201d<\/p>\n Coates shared that investigators in Texas had constructed a diagram that reconstructed the scene in Kris Harrison\u2019s bedroom, including the position of the gun, where both Lucy and the spent casing landed, and her blood stains on the floor.<\/p>\n She claimed that the investigation revealed Lucy Harrison was further away from her father than he told police.<\/p>\n The drunken father, who told police he was an alcoholic and had relapsed and drank a 17-ounce carton of white wine hours before the shooting, claimed he was only showing<\/a> off his Glock 9mm handgun when it accidentally went off.<\/p>\n
