It has been nearly two years since the tragic and mysterious death of Shanquella Robinson, and her family is still fighting for justice amid alarming allegations of a government cover-up. Salamandra Robinson, Shanquella’s mother, is rallying public support, pleading for justice while sharing her frustrations about the lack of arrests in connection with her daughter’s passing.

Shanquella was found dead in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on October 29, 2022, shortly after traveling there for a vacation with friends. Disturbingly, a viral video surfaced showing an altercation where Shanquella was reportedly assaulted by one of her friends. Despite the compelling evidence, the lack of arrests in this case has incited outrage and raised questions about the investigation’s integrity. Salamandra Robinson stated, “It has been two years and there is no reason that no one has been arrested yet. I need Justice for my child.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Salamandra has formally filed a lawsuit against her daughter’s travel companions, referred to as the “Cabo 6.” The lawsuit alleges battery, negligence, conspiracy, and emotional distress, and highlights a disturbing narrative suggesting that federal authorities mishandled the investigation. Salamandra is adamant that the FBI not only failed to take appropriate action but has also knowingly misrepresented the autopsy results.

According to Salamandra, the FBI has ignored significant evidence that she has presented them and has altered both the autopsy and the narrative surrounding her daughter’s death. She claims, “The FBI should have been done something at this time after two years ago… you pushed my daughter under the rug.”

The family’s attorney has also addressed the devastating situation, emphasizing that their efforts are not solely about Shanquella’s justice but also about demanding accountability from the agencies entrusted with protecting U.S. citizens abroad. The lawsuit alleges that Salamandra Robinson suffered damages exceeding $225,000 due to the wrongful death of her daughter and accuses the FBI of withholding critical records necessary for their investigation.

Federal prosecutors previously declined to file charges in this case, citing insufficient evidence. Their statement indicated that proving a federal crime had been committed must be done beyond a reasonable doubt. However, many—including Shanquella’s family and a concerned public—are baffled by the assertion that there is a lack of evidence, particularly in light of the public videos and testimonies revealing serious discrepancies surrounding the events leading to Shanquella’s death.

Shanquella’s body was discovered at a resort, yet officials reported a series of alarming inconsistencies regarding her condition and the timeline of events. These inconsistencies include conflicting accounts from the Cabo 6 about how and where Shanquella was found, as well as discrepancies in the time of her death captured in the police report. Her autopsy indicated a severe spinal cord injury, raising serious questions about the true nature of her death.

Mexican authorities initially classified Shanquella’s death as femicide and have already issued a warrant for one of her alleged assailants, Dejanay Jackson. In conjunction, the family asserts that U.S. authorities have done nothing to facilitate the extradition of those responsible, leaving them feeling helpless and frustrated.

As Salamandra continues to advocate for her daughter, she claims, “We really need to amplify this case as much as possible because something is not right. If people just keep quiet about it, the case will be pushed completely under the rug.” She is determined to ensure that Shanquella’s story does not fade into obscurity, raising awareness about the broader implications of the case and how it affects future travelers.

While the case garners increasing media attention, questions remain about the apparent inaction of federal authorities. Many are left wondering if the spotlight on Shanquella’s tragic story will lead to justice for her family and the accountability of those responsible for her untimely death.

As this saga unfolds, the community’s collective frustration with the investigation echoes loudly. There is a growing call to action: to hold everyone accountable, from those involved in the alleged crime to the government agencies tasked with ensuring justice.
