US Drops Charges in Death of American Woman in Mexico

Federal prosecutors have decided not to bring charges in connection with the death of Shanquella Robinson, 25, of Charlotte, NC, last year in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. Ms. Robinson had been on vacation in Mexico with six friends. She was found unconscious with a severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation, or the dislocation of a ring-shaped bone that supports the skull. A widely circulated video appears to show her being beaten by another woman. The US Attorney's Office for the Western District of North Carolina said prosecutors and the FBI had delivered the news of their decision to Ms. Robinson's family. The available evidence did not support a federal prosecution, said the U.S. Attorney's Office, adding that "it is important to reassure the public that experienced federal agents and seasoned prosecutors extensively reviewed the available evidence." Ms. Robinson's cause of death had been classified as "accidental or violent."
