The family of Shanquella Robinson, an American tourist who died while on vacation in Mexico, are suing the six friends she was traveling with, known as the “Cabo Six,” as well as the FBI for failing to make any arrests two years after her death. Robinson’s friends initially told authorities that she died from alcohol poisoning, but it was later revealed that she actually died from a broken neck after being attacked. Videos of the attack surfaced, but no arrests were made.
Shanquella’s mother, Sallamondra Robinson, is seeking justice for her daughter and has filed a lawsuit against the Cabo Six for wrongful death, battery, negligence, conspiracy, and emotional distress. The lawsuit also names the US Department of State and the FBI as defendants, alleging investigative failures and delays in bringing the perpetrators to justice. The family is frustrated by the lack of progress in the case and is determined to see those responsible held accountable.
The family is also calling for the arrest and extradition of Daejhanae Jackson, who is wanted in Mexico for femicide. The lawsuit claims that the group of friends did not seek medical help for Shanquella after the attack and refused requests to take her to the hospital. The family’s attorney, Sue-Ann Robinson, emphasizes that the lawsuit is not just about seeking justice for Shanquella, but also about holding accountable those responsible for investigating and protecting US citizens abroad. The family is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages.
The lawsuit details the emotional toll that Shanquella’s death has taken on her mother, who has experienced anxiety, depression, and other mental distress since losing her daughter. The family is determined to seek justice for Shanquella and ensure that those responsible for her death face consequences for their actions. The lack of transparency and progress in the case has only added to the family’s grief, and they are hopeful that the lawsuit will bring about the accountability and justice they are seeking.
Shanquella Robinson’s tragic death while on vacation in Mexico has left her family devastated and seeking answers. The family’s lawsuit against the Cabo Six, as well as the FBI and the US Department of State, highlights the need for accountability and justice in cases involving violence against American citizens abroad. The family is determined to see those responsible for Shanquella’s death held accountable and are seeking compensatory and punitive damages to bring closure to this heartbreaking situation. The lawsuit aims to shed light on the failures in the investigation and ensure that such tragedies are not repeated in the future.
