Shanquella Robinson is a name that BOSSIP has been saying for quite some time and for a while we were worried that the case had gone completely cold with very few updates. Fortunately, that was not the case as new lawsuit has just been filed against the group of Shanquella’s “friends” who traveled with her to Mexico where she was killed. The group is now known as “The Cabo Six” and the family’s lawyer, Sue-Ann Robinson, is intent on seeing them held responsible for Shanquella’s death.

BOSSIP was sent a press release with details of Robinson’s (no relation) suit that was filed in the Superior Court of Mecklenburg County. It cites multiple counts of criminality directed at the six, the U.S. Department of State, and the FBI including wrongful death, battery, negligence, conspiracy and emotional distress.
“This lawsuit is not just about seeking justice for Shanquella Robinson; it’s about holding accountable those who were entrusted with the duty to investigate, act, and protect the interests of U.S. citizens abroad. The heartbreaking details of Shanquella’s death and the subsequent mishandling by federal authorities only add to the family’s grief, and they deserve both full transparency and justice.”
The family is seek both compensatory and punitive damages against Khalil Cooke, Malik St Patrick Dyer, Wenter Essence Donovan, Alysse Michelle Hyatt, Daejhanae Jackson, Nazeer Wiggins, and all associated parties who failed to protect the 25-year-old.
We will continue to follow this case and provide as much information as possible about this pending lawsuit.
