DOJ and FBI won't pursue federal charges in Shanquella Robinson's death in Mexico.

The US Department of Justice has announced that it will not pursue federal charges in the death of Shanquella Robinson, a 25-year-old American woman who was found dead in Mexico last October while on vacation. The decision was made after a review of the available evidence and the results of the autopsy. Robinson's family's attorney claims there is a discrepancy between the autopsies done in the US and Mexico and hopes that justice can still be served in Mexico.

Federal authorities won't pursue charges in Shanquella Robinson's death.

The U.S. Attorney's Office has announced that there is not enough evidence to prosecute anyone in the Shanquella Robinson case, and any legal action over her death will come from Mexican authorities. Shanquella Robinson, 26, was killed while on vacation in Cabo, Mexico, with a group of people at the end of October 2022. The people she traveled with said she died of alcohol poisoning, but an autopsy performed in Mexico revealed that it was a severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation. The U.S. autopsy performed after Shanquella was embalmed showed she did not have a spinal cord injury, which directly contradicts the findings of Mexico's autopsy report.

U.S. authorities will not pursue charges in the death of Shanquella Robinson, a woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, who died while in Mexico last October. The killing was being investigated as a femicide, but officials with U.S. Attorneys' Offices in two districts in North Carolina announced that "the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution." Mexican prosecutors had opened an investigation into Robinson's death, and news of her killing had garnered considerable public and global attention owing to a viral cell phone video that showed Robinson being violently assaulted.

Family of Shanquella Robinson seeks Biden's help in death investigation

The family of Shanquella Robinson, who died in Mexico last fall, has called on President Biden to extradite her friend, who is wanted by Mexican authorities in connection with her death. The Mexican government issued an arrest warrant for an unnamed American citizen who was a "direct aggressor" in a video taken of Robinson being brutally beaten before she was found dead. The family's attorneys claim that a witness identified the assailant in the video as Daejhanae Jackson, though authorities have not named her as a suspect. Robinson's death was attributed in part to atlas dislocation, and her family is still pleading for answers almost half a year later.
