An American woman may be extradited to Mexico in connection to the death of another American woman, who was beaten in a viral video while on vacation.
Shanquella Robinson, 25, died of an injury to her spinal cord or neck while on vacation in Mexico on October 29. According to reports, the fatal incident occurred less than 24 hours after her arrival with six friends. At first, the friends told her family that she died from alcohol poisoning, but after her family got ahold of the death certificate, Robinson’s injuries told a different story.
According to WBTV, which obtained a copy of Robinson’s death certificate, Robinson’s cause of death was listed as “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation.”
When the footage surfaced of Robinson being assaulted by the other woman, accusations and calls for action flooded social media. Eventually, the FBI announced an investigation into the case, and on Wednesday, November 23, an arrest warrant was issued for the death of the 25-year-old.
Unfortunately, officials have not identified the suspect. However, both U.S. and Mexican officials have confirmed that the suspect is an American citizen currently in the U.S.
“This case is fully clarified; we even have a court order; there is an arrest warrant issued for the crime of femicide to the detriment of the victim and against an alleged perpetrator, a friend of her who is the direct aggressor,” Daniel de La Rosa, local prosecutor for the state of Baja California Sur, said. “Actually, it wasn’t a quarrel, but instead a direct aggression.”
It has been confirmed that the arrest warrant is valid in Mexico, and prosecutors are contacting federal officials in both countries to discuss the extradition request.
“We are already carrying out all the relevant procedures, both the Interpol file and the extradition request,” de La Rosa said.
