Shanquella Robinson’s Family Claims Tubi Series Exploited Her Death, Hits Creator With Cease & Desist

by

In October of last year, Shanquella Robinson’s family was left devastated, after the 25-year-old student was found dead in a rental property in Mexico. Robinson had gone to San José del Cabo with a group of people she believed to be friends, but things took a left turn only one day into the trip. She was said to have died as an unfortunate result of alcohol poisoning, however, an autopsy later suggested that the group wasn’t telling the full story.

Robinson was found to have sustained severe injuries to both her neck and spine ahead of her passing. A video later surfaced online, showing her being brutally beaten by one of the women she had traveled with. The footage further ignited preexisting speculation about the group’s involvement in Robinson’s death. A recent episode of a Tubi series uses elements of her tragic passing as a plot. Now, amid the process of grieving the loss of their loved one, Robinson’s family is firing back.

Street Legal Allegedly Uses Elements Of Shanquella’s Story

Robinson’s family has now served the creator of the series, Street Legal, with a cease & desist letter. They allege that Dennis L Reed II exploited the young woman’s story without permission. “Anyone portraying Shanquella as anything other than a victim of a crime and her travel mates as anything other than complicit in her murder is helping bury the truth about what happened,” a statement on behalf of the family reads. “We’re not gonna stand by and allow that there is still a path to justice in this case when the State Department gives Mexico authority to extradite the accused back to Mexico to be prosecuted.”

“Street Legal is a fictional crime series,” Reed’s team says. “The characters and events of this film are fictitious. Any similarities to actual events or persons, dead or alive, are entirely coincidental. The series follows twin defense attorneys Justin and Jordan whose parents’ criminal past catches up with them. The disclaimer is set forth before each episode.” What do you think of the similarities between the Street Legal episode and Shanquella’s story?

U.S. Federal Prosecutors Won’t Bring Charges in Death of Shanquella Robinson in Mexico

Mexican Authorities Issue Warrant in Investigation of Death of Shanquella Robinson

The federal investigation of Shanquella Robinson, a North Carolina woman who suffered a mysterious death during a trip to Mexico with friends, will conclude without levying charges against anyone.

According to ABC News, U.S. Attorneys Sandra J. Hairston and Dena J. King stated the case would have to “beyond a reasonable doubt, that a federal crime was committed.” That evidence is currently unfounded.

“Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson’s family today that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution,” the attorneys wrote in a statement.

In November 2022, Shanquella Robinson’s death was under full investigation by Mexican authorities. According to the Charlotte Observer, an arrest warrant was issued in connection to the death of Robinson last October in Cabo, Mexico.

Mexican prosecutors have issued the warrant nearly a month after Robinson was found dead in her hotel room. A suspect has not been named, but Baja California Sur prosecutor, Daniel de la Rosa Anaya, stated it was a “friend.”

“This case is fully clarified,” de la Rosa Anaya said. “We even have a court order, there is an arrest warrant issued for the crime of femicide to the detriment of the victim against an alleged perpetrator, a friend of her who is the direct aggressor.”

The World Health Organization categorizes femicide as the “intentional murder of women because they are women.”

Robinson arrived in Cabo on Oct. 28 and was found dead a day later. Her friends told her family that she died from alcohol poisoning, but an autopsy revealed severe spinal cord injury. A video on social media shows Robinson being beaten in a hotel room.

Shanquella Robinson Case Won’t Be Investigated Federally

Shanquella Robinson and her justice are now solely in the hands of the Mexican government. On Wednesday, the United States chose not pursue charges. This latest update is a devastating blow to the family. The young woman’s death was ruled a femicide by Mexican investigators. Sadly, no one has been held accountable. 

After a months-long probe, the Department of Justice and the FBI have decided there is not enough evidence. The thriving hair and clothing entrepreneur was found dead in a luxury Cabo San Lucas villa. Her travel mates said she died of alcohol poisoning. However, an autopsy concluded her death was caused by a severe neck and spine injury. 

Shanquella Robinson Was A Successful Businesswoman

Cell phone video shows Robinson being violently beaten by Daejhanae Jackson. In the disturbing clip that surfaced after her death, Robinson was nude and doesn’t fight back. In March, Robinson’s family and civil rights attorney Ben Crump went to Washington, D.C. While there, they pleaded with the government to intervene. Subsequently, an investigation was launched but the DOJ has now ruled they cannot do anything. “It is important to reassure the public that experienced federal agents and seasoned prosecutors extensively reviewed the available evidence and have concluded that federal charges cannot be pursued,” the agency said in a statement. 

Moreover, aside from their initial lie, the group Robinson traveled with remains tightlipped. When Robinson became gravely ill, they did seek out a doctor. When the medical professional advised them to take Robinson to a hospital, they refused. She died shortly after. Afterward, the group was seen laughing. Additionally, they allegedly attended dinner knowing the young hair braider and boutique owner was deceased. The family says they have stopped speaking to them and refuse to reveal any key details. Family attorney Sue-Ann Robinson has been careful to avoid calling the group “friends” of the victim. She says only one of them was a friend. Let us know what you think of this latest update in the case, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates regarding this developing story.

Shanquella Robinson’s Family Lawyer Says Group She Was With Were Not “Friends”

by

As the death of Shanquella Robinson continues to garner worldwide attention, her family is still seeking answers. In October, the 25-year-old was found dead in a rental property just one day into a group trip to San José del Cabo. She traveled with Khalil Cooke, Malik St Patrick Dyer, Wenter Essence Donovan, Alysse Michelle Hyatt, Daejhanae Jackson, and Nazeer Wiggins. They claimed she died of alcohol poisoning after they summoned a doctor to the property. However, the doctor pleaded with the group to get Robinson to a hospital, which they refused. An autopsy proved Robinson sustained severe neck and spine trauma before her death. A troubling video surfaced of Robinson being violently beaten by Jackson as she was naked and unable to fight back. Now, her family attorney is maintaining that those she made the journey with were not her friends. 

Attorney Sue-Ann Robinson spoke with The Sun, where she shot down the mountain of “misinformation” surrounding Robinson’s death. Sue-Ann says she only refers to her fellow travelers as “travel mates.” She notes that the successful hair stylist and online boutique owner was only close with one of the people on the trip. The frustrated attorney has spent much of her time clearing up the confusion surrounding Robinson’s relationship with those on the vacation. “It infers that Shanquella had some issue with her judgment,” Sue-Ann explained. 

Shanquella Robinson Was A Successful Business Owner

The Mexican government has deemed Robinson’s death a femicide. According to The Sun, this is the Mexican authorities’ term used to describe the murder of a woman at the hands of another woman. The Mexican government has issued a warrant for one suspect named the “direct aggressor” in the video of Robinson. This person is assumed to be Jackson, though police haven’t publicly identified her. Extradition has not occurred, and the family has called on President Joe Biden to intervene. 

As of now, each of the people who were present when Robinson died has remained free. They have not faced repercussions of any kind. Each has remained tight-lipped about the events of that dreadful vacation, aside from claiming the young woman died of too much alcohol consumption. After the medical examiner revealed the autopsy findings, Robinson’s family says the group stopped speaking to them. We can only hope they find answers soon.

Shanquella Robinson’s Father Speaks On Seeing Her Lifeless Body: “All I Want Is Justice”

by

When the story of Shanquella Robinson’s tragic death first went public, updates regarding the ongoing investigation were frequent. Now, as we near the two-month anniversary of her passing, the late woman’s family remains without answers from the FBI and Mexican authorities.

Earlier this month, a rally was held in the 25-year-old’s hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. At the time, various members of the community spoke out with words of comfort as well as determination to help Shanquella’s parents. Her father, Bernard was obviously emotional and even got vulnerable about his frustration with the situation.

“All I want is justice,” he told the crowd before him. Initially, Bernard and his wife were told that their daughter died due to alcohol poisoning. Upon seeing her lifeless body in a casket, though, he says he knew that wasn’t true. “I saw the knot… The cut on her lip,” the mourning man recalled.

“I know for a fact that they did some bodily harm to her,” he declared. As you may know, in the wake of Robinson’s death, a video began circulating online that shows a brutal attack during a vacation in Cabo. The circumstances leading up to the incident remain unclear, though U.S. authorities are working with Mexican police to ensure Shanquella’s killer is held accountable.

While speaking at the rally, Bernard said, “I just want the Mexican authorities, the embassy, to do the right thing, make it right. Because they came over there on your soil and did what they did and came back here.”

In previous interviews, he and his wife revealed that their daughter’s friends came by to visit after returning from Cabo. After her death certificate came back claiming atlas luxation as the cause of her demise, though, they all vanished.

The last we heard, a warrant is out for at least one of Shanquella’s six friends, said to be a female. Additionally, the U.S. will work with Mexico to extradite the suspect in this case.

The wait for updates has been so frustrating, that even Yung Miami is using her platform to push for answers. “Update on Shanquella killers?” she wrote over the weekend. “Are they in jail? I can’t stop thinking about her.”

Shanquella Robinson Rally In Charlotte Calls For Justice In Ongoing Death Investigation

by

The tragic story of Shanquella Robinson’s death shocked the internet last month. Over the weekend, countless people from the late student’s hometown gathered at a rally to demand the justice they deserve.

As ABC News reports, Saturday (December 10) saw several Charlotte, North Carolina residents come together at Little Rock AME Zion Church. Friends of the family and local leaders both spoke on how the unexpected murder has shaken up their community.

“I’m going to be honest – this is tough,” Mayor pro tem, Braxton Winston, said in his statements. “How many words of comfort can you bring to a situation like this? There’s so much grief in our community.”

Afterward, the politician went on to assure Shanquella’s parents that they won’t be forgotten by those around them as they await further answers from the FBI and Mexican authorities.

Mecklenburg County’s at-large commissioner, Pat Cotham, additionally noted that Robinson’s story “[is] just starting.” They added, “She was just a young woman. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Shanquella.”

Aside from running her own businesses, the deceased spent much of her time focusing on her studies at Winston-Salem State University. A representative for the school says her “spirit lives on” there, even after her untimely murder.

Just a few weeks ago, the Robinson family came together to mourn their only child at a funeral service. Now, the community is uplifting them again in their time of need.

“There were thousands of people that didn’t make it into the services a couple of weeks ago, so this is the opportunity to come and show their support for the Robinson family again and to love on them and basically let them know that we stand with them,” Million Youth March of Charlotte founder, Mario Black, told press this past weekend.

“It’s justice for Shanquella Robinson until justice is served,” he chiefly declared.

Though the FBI and Mexican authorities revealed that an arrest warrant was issued in the case at the end of November, Salamondra Robinson has spoken with the media and says she remains without answers.
