Overview
- Jane Coates called for a fresh U.S. review after last month's Cheshire inquest concluded her 23-year-old daughter was unlawfully killed and labeled Kris Harrison's actions reckless.
- Prosper police initially treated the shooting as accidental and opened a criminally negligent homicide inquiry, but a Collin County grand jury declined to indict in June 2025.
- The inquest heard an officer reported smelling alcohol on Harrison, who later admitted drinking a 500ml carton of white wine that morning, yet no breath test was administered.
- Harrison told police the Glock 9mm "just went off" as he showed it to Lucy, while her boyfriend testified she would not have wanted to see the gun.
- Prosper Police say they conducted a thorough investigation, and legal experts note that reopening a case after a grand jury no-bill is uncommon in Texas.
