A family member of a North Carolina woman who died in Mexico while on vacation is frustrated at the lack of answers that they received for over a month.
“I’m just waiting for somebody to get arrested,” Sallamondra, mother to Shanquella Robinson (25-year-old), told The Independent . “The FBI isn’t telling anything.”
Shanquella Robinson, a six-friend traveler to San Jose del Cabo the previous day, was found dead there on Oct. 29. Mexican authorities believe that she suffered a severe spinal injury.
Robinson was traveling to the resort town along six of her friends. She reportedly told her family she died from alcohol poisoning. A medical examiner later declared otherwise. Authorities launched a “femicide” investigation, which is essentially a murder investigation. It is believed that the victim was often targeted because of her gender.
