Major Update In Shanquella Robinson’s Mysterious Death In Mexico
The mother of a North Carolina woman who was fatally attacked while vacationing in Mexico is pursuing legal action two years after the tragic incident.
Shanquella Robinson, 25, died in October of 2022 while she was on a trip with friends, who are referred to as the the “Cabo Six” in a lawsuit filed by her mother. The mother alleges that the group told officials Robinson died from alcohol poisoning, but she actually died from a broken neck.
Videos later emerged showing the friends physically attacking Robinson, but the FBI never charged anyone or made any arrests in the case.
Robinson’s mother, Sallamondra Robinson, filed a lawsuit against the “Cabo Six,” FBI and U.S. Department of State on October 25.

The “Cabo Six” consists of Daejhanae Jackson, Alysse Hyatt, Malik Dyer, Wenter Donovan, Khalil Cooke, and Nazeer Tyree Wiggin, according to the lawsuit.
Sallamondra Robinson accused the “Cabo Six” of wrongful death, battery, negligence, conspiracy, and emotional distress. She also accused the Department of State and the FBI of investigative failures and delaying justice.
The lawsuit alleges that Jackson punched Shanquella Robinson in the face, head, neck and other parts of her body. The suit calls the attack “violent and relentless.”
Shanquella Robinson was naked and unable to defend herself, according to the lawsuit.

The suit claims that the “Cabo Six” posted the video to social media and video called Jackson’s boyfriend so he could watch the attack. It also states that the group refused to take Shanquella Robinson to the hospital.
“No one tried to console or help Shanquella with her severe and apparently painful injuries,” the suit states.
The lawsuit also alleges that the group left Mexico a day earlier than they originally planned, without telling Mexican officials about the attack.
The filing claims Sallamondra Robinson has experienced anxiety, depression and mental distress after her daughter’s death.
“Shanquella Robinson was a vibrant and driven 25-year-old, who had already established herself as a remarkable entrepreneur and a beloved community member,” the lawsuit states.

In addition to being an entrepreneur, Shanquella Robinson was skilled at braiding hair.
“This skill allowed her to build strong relationships with families in her community, because she offered a service that brought confidence and joy to young clients,” the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
