The FBI announced this week that it has investigated the death of Shanquella Robinson and concluded that it will not pursue federal charges in connection with the case.
The FBI stated on Wednesday that the existing proof does not back up a federal prosecution, and after a thorough examination and evaluation of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson’s family today, according to the findings of the autopsy.
The death of Ms. Robinson has been incredibly difficult for her family and the community. However, it is important to reassure the public that seasoned prosecutors and experienced federal agents have thoroughly reviewed the available evidence and concluded that federal charges cannot be pursued. Given the circumstances surrounding Ms. Robinson’s death, it is not generally the policy of federal officials to issue public statements regarding the status of an investigation.
Initially, she had told her group of friends that her family had been sick from poisoning alcohol. On October 29, 2022, before flying to the Club Beach Fundadores in Cabo del José San with her six travel companions, Robinson, a 26-year-old hairdresser from Charlotte, North Carolina, was found dead.
The case of Shanquella Robinson requires “high-level diplomatic intervention” following a mysterious death in Mexico, according to her attorney.
Jackson, a female citizen of the United States, was issued a warrant for her arrest by authorities in Mexico, submitted a formal request for extradition, and officially classified Robinson’s death as a homicide following the emergence of a video on social media depicting Robinson being assaulted by another woman while bystanders observed.
In addition to the instability of the initial two neck vertebrae, Mexican authorities concluded that Robinson’s demise was caused by a “serious spinal cord injury and dislocation of the atlas bone.”
A demonstration was orchestrated in solidarity with Shanquella Robinson, as her father retold the devastating instant he witnessed her motionless form and conveyed his yearning for accountability.
The FBI directed inquiries about extradition to the Department of Justice, and the U.S. Government, which is collaborating with Mexico on the extradition procedure, did not immediately respond to a comment request from Fox News Digital.
The family of Robinson has continuously implored the Biden administration to intervene and assist in the process of extradition.
“In the previous month,” stated lawyer Sue-Ann Robinson, who has no familial connection to Shanquella Robinson, “they were unaware of the appropriate assistance measures,” the administration conveyed their reluctance to leave any space for uncertainty.
The attorney stated, “either the president or the secretary of state should intervene and request the surrender of the suspect(s) or share jurisdiction and bring forth charges within the United States.”
During a press conference on Wednesday, attorney Robinson expressed her belief that the current situation serves as a poignant reminder that individuals from Black and Brown communities who are victims of crime need to exert more effort in order to ensure their voices are acknowledged. Additionally, she emphasized that although we may be disheartened, we remain undeterred.
Lawyer Robinson expressed, “Individuals of African American and Hispanic descent must forge their own route towards fairness.” “There will not be a detention, and currently we are being informed that her assault was recorded on video. It brought back memories of George Floyd… When we were informed that what we witnessed was not what we actually witnessed.”

Shanquella Robinson underwent embalming following the completion of the autopsy in the United States. The lawyer proposed that a “postponement” in the autopsy might have led to the inconsistency and disagreed with the Mexican autopsy’s assertion that Shanquella Robinson passed away due to a spinal injury. The FBI classified the cause of death as uncertain, according to attorney Robinson.
“If this had been taken earnestly from the start, there would not have been a postponement of fairness,” lawyer Robinson expressed.
The agency is informing the family that there are no further actions it can undertake. The attorney alleged that the FBI is shifting responsibility back and forth with the Mexican government and stated that it is “completely ridiculous”.
Robinson reiterated her plea for a ‘top-tier’ diplomatic intervention, emphasizing that the FBI field office in Charlotte alone would not suffice.
The U.S. Department of State did not promptly reply to a request for commentary from Fox News Digital.
