The family and friends of, Shanquella Robinson, who died during a trip in Cabo, Mexico are still seeking answers three months after the death of their loved one. Robinson, who went to Cabo with friends on Oct. 28, was found dead in a hotel room. Shortly before her death, Robinson was seen in a viral video that showed her being punched and thrown to the ground by another person in a hotel room.
While an autopsy report showed that Robinson died of a cracked spine, loved ones are still missing many answers.
Robinson’s childhood friend Kayla Mitchell is among those fighting for justice. Speaking to WBTV, Mitchell sent a message to whoever may be responsible for Robinson’s death.
“You can’t run away from justice. God is a just God. So, whatever you do, when people are not around, God sees it and that’s the ultimate…like you have to go through him, and you can’t get away from him and his justice,” Mitchell said in her interview with WBTV.
While she continues to seek answers, the devastated friend is remembering the sweet memories she made with Robinson.
“She was just so full of life she loved experiences living big just enjoying and making the most of it and I feel like that’s a lesson that could be valuable to all of us,” Mitchell said. “It’s just to enjoy our lives and just really live.”
For Mitchell, there is especially one memory that stands out.
“It was her birthday,” Mitchell said. “And I got her something as simple as a hot chocolate from Dunkin’ Donuts, and you would think I would have brought her the most extravagant gift ever. She was just so happy, she recorded on her Snapchat like it was a real moment for her. So just, you know, just the simplest thing to just make her happy. That just puts a smile on my face the last time where you know just a moment where I can recall her just being happy and being around good company.”
Robinson’s sister also issued a statement on behalf of the family to thank the supporters and to demand more urgency from authorities.
“On behalf of the Robinson and the Long family, thank you all for the outpouring of support,” Robinson’s sibling said in a statement to WBTV. “In my sister’s untimely demise three months ago, unfortunately, no one has been arrested, and the investigation of this case is still on going. Please continue to support and stand with us in solidarity in this journey/fight for justice for Shanquella.”
