Her travel mates allegedly insisted Robinson died of alcohol poisoning, but an autopsy later revealed she died as a result of severe trauma to her neck and spine, the outlet reports.
ABC News reports at least two others were present at the time of the alleged beating.
“It has been 126 days since she died,” Crump said, according to theObserver. “That’s 18 weeks.”
“Video footage of her being beaten — literally, to death — was released, on November 16, 2022; 108 days ago … and still with all this visual evidence, nobody has been arrested.”
“It is not right that the suspects and the people involved are sleeping comfortably in their own beds at night,” Crump continued. “The only question is, State Department, President Biden: What are you going to do to bring justice for this brokenhearted family, especially this mother of Shanquella Robinson?”
“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 hers, who is the direct aggressor,” local prosecutor Daniel de la Rosa Anaya said,PEOPLE previously reportedin November.
“We are carrying out all the pertinent procedures, such as the Interpol alert and the request for extradition to the United States of America. It’s about two Americans, the victim and the culprit,” he added.
“The Department does not provide confirmation of or commentary on investigations due to privacy and law enforcement considerations.”
