A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard.

Lucy Harrison, from Warrington in Cheshire, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 in Prosper, near Dallas.

Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old’s death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.

An inquest into Lucy Harrison’s death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner’s Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the “big argument” about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.

    This has been going on forever, all Trumpism did was give it a shape so that it could make the news.

    It also goes on everywhere in the world, all the time.

    Our species is not what you think it is, and I am sad for every thinking, feeling person who thinks they know how bad the situation is, but hasn’t yet had that moment where it all sinks.
