A mother named Sallamondra Robinson is seeking justice for the death of her daughter, Shanquella Robinson, who passed on mysteriously during a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with six friends.
Sallamondra has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the six individuals who traveled with her daughter.
On October 25, 2022, Shanquella Robinson, then 25, left her home in Charlotte, North Carolina, to celebrate a friend’s birthday in San Jose del Cabo.

Shanquella and her friends rented a villa for the occasion, and only a day after, she was found unresponsive and was later pronounced dead. Her six friends then lied to her mother that she had died of alcohol poisoning.
However, an autopsy revealed severe injuries, including a broken neck and a severed spine.
On Monday, Shanquella’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in North Carolina against the group, known as the “Cabo Six.”
The defendants, according to a Daily Mail report, are Daejhanae Jackson, Alysse Hyatt, Malik Dyer, Wenter Donovan, Khalil Cooke, and Nazeer Tyree Wiggins.
The disturbing video that surfaced after Shanquella’s death reportedly shows she was being beaten by Jackson.
Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for Jackson on a charge of femicide, which is the deliberate killing of a woman, yet no move has been made to extradite the U.S. citizen.
“We need justice for Shanquella Robinson,” said Sallamondra Robinson. “It has been two years, and there’s no reason they have not been arrested.”
The lawsuit alleges that Sallamondra Robinson “suffered damages in excess of $25,000 as a result of the wrongful death.”
It further claims that the FBI and state authorities acted with negligence, as they did not adequately investigate the case with the FBI withholding critical records requested by the family through a Freedom of Information Act application.
“Some of these people should have already been in jail. You got a video,” Sallamondra said at a recent press conference. “If it had been anybody else’s child, they would have been locked up. They just pushed my daughter under the rug.”
The family’s attorney, Sue-Ann Robinson, stated that when they requested information from the FBI, they responded that it could take up to five years to get back to them. “This delay only heightens the erosion of evidence and witnesses’ memories,” she said.
The viral 20-second video shows Shanquella beaten multiple times while being naked, and her mother is seeking justice, aiming to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
