Mother Urges Reopening of Case Involving Daughter's Death in Texas
Jane Coates, the mother of Lucy Harrison, is calling for the reopening of the investigation into her daughter's death in Texas. Lucy, a 23-year-old British citizen, was shot and killed in January 2025 while visiting her father, Kris Harrison, in Texas. Despite a Cheshire coroner ruling that Lucy was unlawfully killed, Kris Harrison was not arrested, and a grand jury chose not to indict him. The incident occurred after an argument between Lucy and her father, who was reportedly holding a gun that discharged. Coates, supported by Sarah Hall, a Labour MP, is urging the UK government to press Texas authorities to re-examine the case, citing inadequate support from both British and US authorities.
