Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old woman from Warrington, UK, was tragically shot dead by her father, Kris Harrison, during a visit to Texas. The incident occurred following a heated argument about US President Donald Trump on January 10, 2025. Lucy, who had traveled to Texas for a holiday with her boyfriend, was shot in the chest by her father, who has struggled with alcohol addiction. Despite being investigated for suspected manslaughter, he faced no charges as a grand jury declined to indict him, raising questions about accountability in such familial tragedies.

The inquest, held at Cheshire Coroner's Court, detailed the events leading up to the shooting, shedding light on the troubled relationship between Lucy and her father. Witnesses, including her boyfriend Sam Littler, recounted how Lucy often experienced distress during her visits to see her father. There were indications of longstanding issues, including Kris Harrison’s struggle with alcoholism, complicating the family dynamics and ultimately culminating in this deadly confrontation.

The case has sparked media attention in both the UK and the US, highlighting the tragic outcomes of familial disputes exacerbated by substance abuse and mental health issues. As the investigation concluded without formal charges against Kris Harrison, discussions around the need for better support systems for families dealing with addiction and mental health crises have resurfaced, emphasizing the importance of addressing the underlying issues to prevent such tragedies in the future.
