Shanquella Robinson’s father says the attack that killed her was staged

The father of the North Carolina woman who died at a Mexican resort believes his daughter was murdered in a pre-planned attack.

Shanquella Robinson, 25, of Charlotte, was found dead at a mansion in San Jose del Cabo on Oct. 29 after traveling there with six friends, according to WBTV.

Robinson’s traveling companions initially said her death was caused by alcohol poisoning, but a murder investigation was launched after an autopsy revealed she suffered “severe spinal cord injuries and atlas luxation,” an instability of the first two cervical vertebrae, according to WSOC-TV.

The death certificate made no mention of alcohol consumption as a factor in Robinson’s death, and a chilling video that had been doing the rounds on social media showed her being beaten in the hotel room.

Her father, Bernard Robinson, told TMZ on Saturday he believed the attack was a trap because his daughter was not involved in any fighting.

“They attacked her, man. It’s not like some… my daughter was asleep, man. So they’re all in this room and then they come in there like she ain’t woke up or whatever, like it seems like they attacked her, man,” an emotional Robinson told the outlet.

“And her naked man. You know, for a father … to see that video man, you know, because my daughter is not a fighter, she is not a fighter at all,” the grieving father said, speculating that his daughter was killed in a premeditated attack.

“For them to do what they did, man, it just seems like they were a plot… they couldn’t do that over here where their friends are, you know, all their friends. You know, it wouldn’t have gone down like that man did,” he told the outlet.

“You just tore a hole in my heart, man. That was my only child. I’m just a heartbroken man,” he reportedly said through tears.

“I can’t even be a grandfather. I can’t even walk her down the aisle, man.”

On Thursday, the Baja California Sur attorney general’s office confirmed the autopsy results and said that “an investigation has been launched into femicide,” a hate crime that kills women because of their gender, according to ABC News.

“They left her there, man, they left her in that house. They left her there for the maid to find. Don’t you know how much pain my daughter has endured? The injuries you know she got, you know, she’s a little little something, a little little body, man,” her father said.

“I just want justice, man. I’m just angry, hurt, sad.”

The FBI was reportedly investigating the murder along with Mexican officials. No arrests were made.
