The family of Shanquella Robinson who died after being attacked in Mexico is suing the six friends she was vacationing with, accusing them of having a role in her death, as well as the FBI for failing to make any arrests exactly two years on.
In October of 2022, Shanquella died while on vacation with a group of friends, referred to as the “Cabo Six,” who told authorities the 25-year-old died from alcohol poisoning, when she actually died from a broken neck.
Mexican authorities began investigating the case as a homicide after a video surfaced showing Shanquella being brutally beaten during the trip began to go viral. However, the FBI declined to bring charges and no arrests have been made.
Since federal authorities announced they would not press charges, Shanquella’s mother, Salamandra Robinson, said she is suing the Cabo Six, alleging multiple counts of wrongful death, battery, negligence, conspiracy, and emotional distress. The lawsuit also names the US Department of State and the FBI as defendants, claiming both agencies are responsible for investigative failures and delaying justice.
