According to the report available, Robinson’s friends called in medical assistance saying that their friend was not feeling well. They also reported to the doctor that she drank a lot of alcohol.
When the doctor instructed that Robinson should be taken to hospital, her friends insisted that she should be treated in the hotel room itself. After displaying a few different signs of unwellness, Shanquella Robinson passed away due to cardiac arrest.
Few days after the death of Shanquella Robinson, a video of her being beaten by one of her female friends started to surface on the internet. The video clearly depicts Shanquella Robinson being severely beaten up.
Following the release of the video, the family of Shanquella Robinson decided to press for a detailed investigation into the death of their daughter. The reports from the autopsy of Robison also did not suggest death by alcohol poisoning.
She had severely damaged her spinal cord and suffered severe blows to her head. The autopsy also ruled out the possibility of cardiac arrest being the reason behind her death.
Following the investigation carried out by different agencies, the attorney general of the Baja California General Prosecutors Office, Daniel de la Rosa Anaya released an arrest warrant for a charge of femicide and was issued against the direct aggressor in Robinson’s death.
While there had even been reports that suggest that arrest warrants were issued for Robinson’s travel companion, no one had been officially charged for the case to date.
