Family of Shanquella Robinson Files Lawsuit Seeking Justice Two Years After Mysterious Death in Mexico

The lawsuit accuses Robinson's travel companions and U.S. authorities of negligence, demanding accountability for her 2022 death.

Shanquella Robinson, a 25-year-old from Charlotte, died under suspicious circumstances in Cabo, Mexico, in October 2022.
The lawsuit filed by Robinson's family names her six travel companions, the FBI, and the U.S. Department of State as defendants.
Robinson's death was initially reported as alcohol poisoning, but an autopsy revealed a severe spinal injury as the cause.
Mexican authorities have issued an arrest warrant for femicide, but extradition proceedings have stalled in the U.S.
The family criticizes the FBI for withholding investigation records and not pursuing charges, delaying justice for Robinson.
