Overview
- Senior coroner Jacqueline Devonish concluded the 23-year-old was unlawfully killed, finding Kris Harrison reckless for pointing a loaded handgun at his standing daughter and pulling the trigger.
- Evidence at the inquest showed Harrison had been drinking and bought wine that day, while Prosper police noted alcohol on his breath but did not test him, which the coroner flagged as an investigative failing.
- Kris Harrison did not attend the hearing and maintains the shooting was accidental as he showed his daughter a Glock 9mm; he said he could not recall if his finger was on the trigger and issued a statement of remorse.
- Boyfriend Sam Littler testified there had been a heated argument about President Donald Trump earlier, and said Harrison led Lucy into a bedroom before a single shot was heard roughly 15 seconds later.
- Medical reports confirmed Lucy had no alcohol or drugs in her system, and her family condemned Texas gun laws that allow home-defense ownership without a license as well as decisions by Prosper police.
