“Friends” lie about what caused Charlotte NC business woman Shanquella Robinson @its.quella _death in Mexico A successful Charlotte, North Carolina businesswoman who went on a trip to Mexico with her best friend and five other people is dead, and her best friend of more than five years, Khalil Cooke, is lying about what happened to her. On Friday, October 28, 2022, 25-year-old Shanquella Robinson, her best friend, Khalil Cooke, and five others named Malik Dyer, Wenter Donovan, Alysse Hyatt, Daejhanae Jackson, and Nazeer Wiggins went to Cabo, Mexico. “Each one of the people that was there with her was telling different stories.” "They said she wasn’t feeling well. She had alcohol poisoning. They couldn’t get a pulse. Phoning the FBI and Mexican police revealed her autopsy performed locally that allegedly showed signs of foul play. Salamondra said: "When the autopsy came back, they said it didn’t have anything to do with the alcohol...[They] said that she had a broken neck and her spine in the back was cracked. She had been beaten." #ShanquellaRobinson #KhalilCooke #MalikDyer #WenterDonovan #AlysseHyatt #DaejhanaeJackson #NazeerWiggins https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAOlwHr3Kk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The killing of Shanquella Robinson is being investigated as a femicide, an unfamiliar term for many in the United States as this gender-motivated crime has not been defined by US legislation despite being a global issue. Robinson, a 25-year-old former student at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina died in October while staying in a luxury rental property in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Prosecutors in Mexico are seeking to extradite one of Robinson’s friends as a suspect in the case. Daniel de la Rosa, the attorney general for Baja California Sur told local media last week that an arrest warrant was issued for the crime of femicide, or the killing of a woman because of her gender, in connection with Robinson’s case. No one has been charged in the case, and authorities have not released the names of Robinson’s friends. Unlike Mexico and other Latin American countries, the US does not have a law recognizing femicide as a different crime than homicide, which several experts say does not mean that killings targeting women are not happening in the US at alarming rates. “Femicides happen all the time in the US, and many famous murder cases that we all have in our consciousness are actually femicide, but we don’t put that label on them,” said Dabney P. Evans, director of Emory University’s Center for Humanitarian Emergencies, who studies violence against women. As the investigation into Robinson’s death continues, here’s what you need to know about what is considered femicide in Mexico, why gender-based violence is a big problem globally, and why scholars say that writing femicide into US law could help women. It’s become a crisis in Mexico Femicide is the most extreme form of gender-based violence (GBV) and is defined as the “intentional murder of women because they are women.”  Femicides fall into two categories: intimate and non-intimate femicide. #ShanquellaRobinson #KhalilCooke #MalikDyer #WenterDonovan #AlysseHyatt #DaejhanaeJackson #NazeerWiggins #justiceforshanquellarobinson #femicide #femicideawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/Clx-UIAubqf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Salamondra Robinson, mother of Shanquella Robinson, has been demanding answers since the day she found out her daughter died. Shanquella was found dead last month during a trip to Mexico with a group of friends. Though the investigation into her death began at a slow start, Salamondra said social media has been a driving force behind getting justice, per NBC News. Initial reports of Robinson’s death say that she was found dead at a villa in Cabo San Lucas Oct. 29. Authorities originally suspected no foul play in her death and her friends claimed she died of alcohol poisoning. However, Robinson’s mother claims an autopsy found she suffered a broken neck and fractured spinal cord. On top of that, alleged videos of Robinson being assaulted and various social media posts have brought Twitter users to believe her friends murdered her. It gets deeper. When her friends called for help, Dr. Karolina Beatriz Ornelas Guitierrez arrived and found Robinson alive. She wanted to take Robinson to the hospital but her friends refused, per WCNC Charlotte. Eventually an ambulance was called and for the next three hours, Guitierrez attempted 14 sessions of CPR, six electric shocks with a defibrillator and five doses of adrenaline but to no avail. One friend who was still in the US during the incident went to Facebook alleging the group stole $10k from Robinson before they fled back home after her death. Robinson’s mother shared the post on her Instagram. She told NBC if it wasn’t for social media, the authorities would have let the case go cold. “I never thought she wouldn’t get justice because we were going to try to go all the way. But I appreciate everything that everybody’s done, however you’ve played a part in it,” said Salamondra Robinson. The FBI in Charlotte has opened an investigation with Mexican authorities after the amplification of the videos showing the moments before Robinson’s death, per ABC News. Local news efforts to reach the six friends for comment have not been successful. #ShanquellaRobinson #KhalilCooke #MalikDyer #WenterDonovan #AlysseHyatt #DaejhanaeJackson #NazeerWiggins #justiceforshanquellarobinson https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZJ3SgJO_0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

According to excerpts from a police report obtained by The Charlotte Observer, a doctor from a local hospital in Cabo, Mexico was with Robinson and other house members for almost three hours before she was pronounced dead on Oct. 29. The partial police report was provided to The Charlotte Observer by an investigative reporter for MetropoliMx, a news publication in Mexico. In the report, authorities say at 2:13 p.m. on Oct. 29, medical aid was summoned to the Villa where Robinson and her vacation crew were staying, located in San José del Cabo. An hour later Dr. Gutiérrez from the American Medical Center, a local hospital in the area, arrived to assist Robinson. Gutiérrez was then told by others at the house that Robinson had “drunk a lot of alcohol.” He then decided to give Robinson an IV. The report goes on to say that Gutiérrez found “a female” — understood in the report to be Robinson — with stable vital signs but dehydrated, unable to communicate verbally, and appearing to be inebriated. Gutiérrez then told the other housemates he believed Robinson needed to be transferred to a hospital, but her friends insisted that she be treated at the Villa. Dr. Gutiérrez then tried to give Robinson an IV but was unsuccessful. According to the police report, an hour into Gutiérrez’s house visit Robinson began to have a seizure. 911 was called shortly after by one of the housemates. By this point, Shanquella Robinson was struggling to survive. She was suffering from difficulty breathing and a lowered pulse. At 4:49 p.m. Gutierrez detected Robinson had stopped having a pulse. They quickly began giving her CPR. The report says police arrived at 5:25 p.m. and paramedics “administered a total of 14 rounds of CPR, five doses of adrenaline, and six discharges (AED shocks) without success.” Shanquella Robinson was pronounced dead at 5:57 p.m., according to the report. It’s worth mentioning that none of Robinson’s physical injuries were mentioned in the report. #ShanquellaRobinson #KhalilCooke #MalikDyer #WenterDonovan #AlysseHyatt #DaejhanaeJackson #NazeerWiggins #justiceforshanquellarobinson https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRn__gvuDG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FBI Now Investigating the Death of Shanquella Robinson as a “Criminal Matter” The FBI has joined the investigation into the shocking death of Shanquella Robinson, who was found murdered in a Mexican villa while on vacation. The 25-year-old’s death has captivated social media, with millions demanding answers into what happened to the Charlotte, North Carolina hairstylist who was visiting Cabo San Lucas for vacation. Robinson was found deceased on October 28th, the same day she arrived in the country with seven friends. Initially, the group claimed she died of alcohol poisoning. However, an autopsy revealed that she suffered a broken neck and spinal cord injury. Her family did not buy the friend’s story that the woman died of extreme intoxication. According to Robinson’s mother, Salamondra Robinson, she was told that her daughter was found by a housekeeping staff member in Villa Linda 32, which the group rented together. To make the situation more suspicious, the autopsy findings coincided with a heartbreaking video showing a nude Robinson being brutally beaten by her supposed best friend, Daejhanae Jackson, as a male recorded and asked why the clearly disoriented Robinson wasn’t fighting back. “No one told the same story, so I never believed them anyway,” Salamondra stated. Mexican officials were originally cautious about labeling Robinson’s death as a murder. Now, with the FBI’s involvement, the death is being investigated as a “criminal matter.” The focus is now on whether or not the assault led to her severe injuries. Anyone with additional footage of the assault is urged to come forward. In the meantime, the family is left to grapple with final homegoing preparations as they prepare to lay Robinson to rest this weekend in Charlotte. https://balleralert.com/profiles/blogs/fbi-now-investigating-the-death-of-shanquella-robinson/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/shanquella-robinson-funeral-services #ShanquellaRobinson #KhalilCooke #MalikDyer #WenterDonovan #AlysseHyatt #DaejhanaeJackson #NazeerWiggins https://www.instagram.com/p/ClIJNacMGjM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
