CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The family of Shanquella Robinson, a Charlotte woman who died while on vacation in Mexico in October 2022, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her friends who were with her during the trip.
The legal action comes amid new revelations from an ongoing FBI investigation, which has brought fresh scrutiny to the circumstances surrounding Robinson’s death.
Robinson, who had traveled to the Baja Peninsula with a group of friends, was reported to have suffered injuries after allegedly getting drunk and hurting herself. However, a disturbing video that later surfaced contradicted these claims.
The footage appeared to show Robinson being physically assaulted. At that time, Mexican authorities announced that her death was caused by a broken neck, not self-inflicted injuries.
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.

Both the FBI and the State Department have filed a motion to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit due to a lack of jurisdiction over the claims made against the defendants. About one week later, Nazeer Wiggins, another one of the Cabo Six, responded, denying all allegations.
The legal battle is intensifying as more details emerged this week.
The FBI recently released new documents in connection to the investigation, though much of it has been redacted, including the names of those who spoke with agents.
According to the heavily censored documents, Robinson’s body showed signs of significant trauma, including bruises and injuries that indicated she had been “stomped on.”
Authorities also expressed suspicion that there may have been hidden cameras inside the Airbnb where Robinson and her friends were staying, potentially providing further evidence of what happened in the moments leading up to her death.
While further details of the ongoing investigation haven’t been released, the Robinson family is determined to hold those responsible accountable. Their lawsuit alleges that Robinson’s friends contributed to her death and they’re seeking justice for their loss.
