The family of Shanquella Robinson, whose death occurred while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas two years ago, is now pursuing legal action against her travel companions, seeking accountability for what they argue was a mishandling of her tragic case. The lawsuit, filed on October 28 by Robinson’s mother, Sallamondra, through attorney Sue-Ann Robinson (no relation), targets the six individuals who were on the trip and alleges wrongful death, battery, negligence, conspiracy, and emotional distress, as well as a lack of intervention by federal authorities.
Known as “The Cabo Six,” the group, which includes Khalil Cooke, Malik St. Patrick Dyer, Wenter Essence Donovan, Alysse Michelle Hyatt, Daejhanae Jackson, and Nazeer Wiggins, is accused in the suit of involvement in Robinson’s death and failing to protect her well-being. Video evidence from the November 2022 incident reportedly shows a violent confrontation that contradicts initial claims that Robinson was unwell due to alcohol consumption. According to her mother, the conflicting stories relayed by her friends intensified her suspicion and grief.
Sallamondra Robinson has repeatedly expressed frustration with the lack of answers and accountability from both U.S. and Mexican authorities. “This lawsuit is about accountability from all those responsible,” Robinson stated, “and the federal authorities who have a duty to protect U.S. citizens abroad.” She argues that federal officials have mishandled the case, adding to the family’s burden of unanswered questions.
The legal claim also seeks damages to address the financial and emotional toll on Robinson’s family. Following an autopsy that indicated Robinson’s death was due to severe injuries, including a broken neck and spinal injuries, the family’s quest for justice has only intensified. This finding directly contradicted initial reports of alcohol poisoning, which had been cited by Robinson’s friends shortly after her death.
To date, no arrests have been made. The family, joined by their attorney, is demanding transparency and action from the U.S. government and Mexican officials to ensure justice is served.
