But an autopsy report obtained by her family indicates that her neck was broken. A sickening video then emerged appearing to show a naked Shanquella being attacked in the villa in Cabo by one of her female friends, while a male acquaintance films the assault. It has not been possible to verify at this time when or where the video in question was recorded. However, according to her family, the recent video making the rounds on the internet and social media allegedly does show Robinson being beaten inside a hotel room. The family have now reached out to the FBI's Charlotte office for help. In a statement to WBTV, the Bureau said it is aware of the video circulating online, and urged ...anyone with related photos or video to contact the FBI.... In the clip, a man's voice is heard off-camera taunting Shanquella, saying: ...Can you at least fight back.... She tries to get away from her attacker and replies ...no... before the woman slams her to the floor next to the bed. The woman then punches and knees the stricken Shanquella in the head, yelling at her to ...get up, I'm tired of the ****....

Shanquella's father Bernard Robinson said his daughter flew to Cabo on the southern tip of Baja California on October 28. She was found dead a day later, with her friends flying back and telling Bernard and his wife that their daughter had died from alcohol poisoning. Her grieving family claim they were also initially told by Mexican authorities that Shanquella had died from alcohol poisoning. But a copy of her autopsy report obtained by Shanquella's mother Sallamondra indicated that her neck had been broken and that the cause of death was a severe spinal cord injury. ...It was never a fight. She didn't fight,... Sallamondra said. ...They attacked her.... Her devastated father said: ...All I've been doing is just crying trying to figure out what happened. I can't even be a grandfather, can't even walk her down the aisle, she's gone.... He told WSOC-TV: ...It's like a nightmare. I can't even sleep. I am just frustrated. My heart is just aching as a father. A praying man. ...I just want some truth because this doesn't add up right.... WJZY reported that her death certificate made no mention of alcohol intoxication, but only said that she ...was found unconscious in her living room.... The certificate also didn't specify whether her death was accidental or violent.
