Summary

Attorneys Ben Crump and Sue-Ann Robinson have sent a letter to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for the White House to take action in Robinson's death.

The attorneys, on behalf of mother Salamandra Robinson, encourage the U.S. to extradite Shanquella's killer to Mexico or the U.S. takes jurisdiction of the case. An FBI investigation is underway.

Shanquilla Robinson traveled from North Carolina to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with friends. It is one of those friends who stand accused in Robinson's death. According to a Mexican police report, a doctor was called to assist Robinson around 2 p.m. The doctor insisted on taking her to the hospital, but her friends refused.

According to Robinson's death certificate, she died from a severe spinal cord injury and a broken neck. Doctors call the injury an internal decapitation. A video surfaced after Robinson death showing her being beaten by one of the traveling friends.

The documents submitted to the White House named the friend and calls for her to be extradited to face charges.

0:00.0	The name Shankwilla Robinson is burned into my mind because this beautiful brilliant young
0:25.8	woman death still is unavanged. Why? I mean her death, her homicide is caught on video. Why?
0:42.2	Because she went away on a girl's weekend to I think a five-star resort not too far from where
0:49.9	Jennifer Aniston and other Hollywood celebrities vacation. She was woken up early. She still naked. She
1:02.1	sleeps without any clothes on. Yanked out of bed and then a beating began. Her head essentially was
1:13.2	dislodged from her spine in the beating. And she died. No, not at the hands of some unknown
1:21.5	assailant, not some drug dealer in Mexico that we hear so much about. Buy her own friends. The girls
1:32.5	weekend murder of this beautiful young girl just lying there asleep. And what in the world did they
1:42.2	think it was a good thing to video it? Was it some spectator's sport for them? Still no justice with a video.
1:53.8	Joining me is Shankwilla's mother and a lawyer that is vowing for justice and has gone so far to
2:03.1	riding as to riding the White House. I mean is that what you have to do to get justice? You have to

2:29.1	representing Shinkwilla Robinson's family, they say they know who Mexican authorities are seeking
2:35.0	for Robinson's death. The Charlotte Observer reports those attorneys shared that name in a letter to
2:40.4	the White House. She's a 26 year old. The Observer reports the letter includes findings from a trip
2:46.2	of family attorney took to Mexico recently. Robinson, you remember, died while in vacation with six
2:51.9	others in Kabul last year. And in January, prosecutors in Baja California, so are named that they
2:57.9	were seeking a suspect facing, Femisside charges. Okay. So a letter's been sent to the White House.
3:04.1	Is that going to do any good at all? I don't know. Should they have just crumbled it up and thrown
3:11.1	it out on third Avenue in New York? Is it going to fall on deaf ears? The president's not a prosecutor.
