Summary

25 year old Shanquella Robinson was on vacation with a group of people in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico when she was murdered earlier this year. One of the strangest parts of this story is that this group of people didn’t react how one might expect, and they all had various differing stories about the lead-up to Robinson’s death.

Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. So happy to have you here with me today to discuss another case.

0:12.0

And if you are new and welcome, so the case that I'm going to be covering today, just a warning is very upsetting.

0:18.4

It's also developing, so I am only going to be able to talk about what we know so far.

0:24.4

The investigation is active and ongoing and things should be picking up quickly here, hopefully.

0:30.9

Today when I'm recording, it is December 11th and I believe this is scheduled to go up on the 19th.

0:36.4

Obviously, things could happen between now and then. If you didn't know, my company produces four shows every week,

0:42.8

so we record quite a bit in advance for all shows to make sure we have adequate time for editors to get them, you know, out to you guys.

0:51.1

And obviously that makes it a little more difficult to cover ongoing cases like this.

0:55.6

And I'm just not sure what will come out in the next week. This case has been changing by the day.

1:00.8

And it's very complicated. Today we're going to be discussing what we know so far about the murder of Shankwala Robinson,

1:20.6

although there's still so much we don't know. And for a while, there were, you know,

1:25.2

quite a bit of rumors going around. This case has gotten a decent amount of attention on social media.

1:31.0

And obviously that's a great thing, but it does come with misinformation spreading pretty quickly.

1:35.7

Like I said, this case is very fresh and it's very upsetting. And it will definitely make you think twice

1:42.8

about the people in your own life and who you call friends.

1:46.3

But like many cases involving a woman of color or really any person of color, at first,

1:50.8

Shankwala's story was largely ignored by mainstream media. So social media and citizen journalism

1:56.6

has played a huge role in bringing attention to her murder and are largely responsible for

2:01.6

getting the authorities to take a deeper look into what really happened to her. Without all the

2:06.2

support online and people demanding answers and justice, this case would probably still be
