Shanquella Robinson case needs 'high-level diplomatic intervention' after mysterious death in Mexico: attorney

Shanquella Robinson's family attorney is calling on the Biden administration for more help as the family enters the fourth month of seeking answers about Robinson's death.

"My understanding of the treaty is that it would be the responsibility of our law enforcement agency to have the approval of the State Department in order for us to give clearance for U.S. citizens to be turned over to the Mexican authorities," attorney Sue-Ann Robinson said, adding that she did not receive guidance or assistance from the U.S. consulate in Mexico despite their knowledge of the inner-workings of the legal system in Mexico.

The "biggest takeaway" of the trip was "how difficult it is" to get information when an American dies abroad, said the attorney, who is not related to Shanquella.

The lawyer added that Mexican officials told her their investigation is done, and the ball is now in the court of the United States to agree to extradite the woman they have charged with femicide in the 25-year-old North Carolina hairdresser’s death.
