This week, the FBI said that after looking into Shanquella Robinson’s death, it has come to the decision not to press charges at the federal level.
“Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson’s family today that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution,” the FBI said Wednesday in a statement.
“The death of Ms. Robinson has been incredibly difficult for her family and the community. As a matter of policy, federal officials generally do not issue public statements concerning the status of an investigation. However, given the circumstances of Ms. Robinson’s death and the public concern surrounding this investigation, it is important to reassure the public that experienced federal agents and seasoned prosecutors extensively reviewed the available evidence and have concluded that federal charges cannot be pursued.”
After traveling to the resort the previous day with six other people, Robinson, a 26-year-old hairdresser from Charlotte, North Carolina, was discovered dead on October 29, 2022, at the Fundadores Beach Club in San José del Cabo. Robinson’s friends first informed her family that she had had too much alcohol and had been ill before her death.

Later, a video of Robinson being assaulted by another lady while others looked on appeared on social media. Because of this, Mexican officials issued an arrest warrant for American citizen Daejhanae Jackson, requested her extradition, and ruled Robinson’s death a murder.
Robinson’s death, according to Mexican officials, was caused by “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation,” combined with instability of the first two neck vertebrae.
