CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Two of the defendants in the Shanquella Robinson wrongful death lawsuit have filed motions to dismiss the allegations against them, claiming improper venue, according to court filings.
The defendants, Alysse Hyatt and Wenter Donovan claim that because the alleged incident occurred in Mexico, it should have been handled by Mexican law. Since the lawsuit was never filed there, they say the claims made against them should be dismissed.
According to the latest filings, the defendants add that they were bystanders during the alleged fight between Robinson and another person, adding there were no allegations made against them that they participated in the fight or touched anyone.
In October 2022, 25-year-old Shanquella Robinson and six others took a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Shortly after they arrived, Robinson was pronounced dead by medical personnel on October 29.
The autopsy report done in Mexico showed the cause of death was a severe spinal cord injury and neck trauma. Following the incident, a video was released of Robinson being attacked on the trip.
Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for one of the Cabo Six, but the State Department never forwarded the request to the International Affairs office so they were never extradited.
This motion comes a month after the FBI and State Department filed a similar motion to dismiss the lawsuit due to a lack of jurisdiction over the claims made against the defendants. A week later, Nazeer Wiggins, another one of the Cabo Six, responded to the complaint, denying all allegations made against him.
As of now, no one has been charged in the death of Shanquella Robinson.
