A 23-year-old British woman, Lucy Harrison, is killed by a gunshot at her father’s home in Texas while she is visiting with her boyfriend, Sam Littler. Multiple reports say Harrison dies from a gunshot wound during the trip and that the couple are in the U.S. shortly before they planned to fly back to the UK. A Texas coroner rules Harrison’s death an unlawful killing. However, a grand jury does not bring criminal charges against her father. The boyfriend questions the decision not to pursue charges, according to the reports. The accounts describe the incident as occurring at the father’s home and focus on the contrast between the coroner’s finding of unlawful killing and the later legal outcome, where prosecutors decline to charge anyone. The reports emphasize that the decision is a matter of the grand jury process and provide no indication in the summaries of criminal charges being filed.
