UK Coroner Finds Gross-Negligence Manslaughter in Lucy Harrison’s Death

Overview

• Lucy Harrison, 23, was shot in the chest on January 10, 2025, at her father's home in Prosper, Texas, while visiting from the UK.
• Coroner Jacqueline Devonish issued the finding after a two-day inquest in Cheshire that examined witness accounts and forensic evidence.
• Testimony from boyfriend Sam Littler described a heated political dispute earlier that day, including arguments about Donald Trump and gun ownership.
• Evidence presented included CCTV of Kris Harrison buying wine shortly before the shooting, an officer’s report of alcohol on his breath, and his written admission that he had been drinking.
• A Texas grand jury previously declined to indict Kris Harrison, the coroner rejected a defense bid to recuse her, and Lucy’s mother welcomed the conclusion as restoring her daughter's voice.
