What Happened To Shanquella Robinson?

Shanquella Robinson, 25, of Charlotte, was discovered dead on October 29 200, in a villa in San José del Cabo after visiting with six companions.

Robinson’s travelling companions first claimed she died of alcohol intoxication, but an autopsy revealed she had “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation,” instability of the first two neck vertebrae, according to WSOC-TV.

The video that surfaced online showed a woman violently attacking Robinson during the trip. The FBI’s field office in Charlotte has opened an investigation into Robinson’s mysterious death.

Laviris Smith, Robinson’s neighbour, said he styled her hair for the trip. He’s heartbroken knowing her life was taken too soon.

“She was just excited about going on her trip,” Smith said. “She sat on my chair and we talked about a lot of personal stuff. We just clicked and she was like my little sister.”

The State Attorney General’s Office of Baja California Sur said the investigation is ongoing and that “to the extent that the legal framework allows it, the results will be informed.”
