The US Attorneys’ Offices for the Middle and Western Districts of North Carolina have announced that they will not pursue federal charges in the death of Shanquella Robinson, a 25-year-old woman found dead in Mexico in October.
Robinson had been on a trip with friends when she was found dead. After an autopsy and a careful review of the investigative materials, federal prosecutors informed Robinson’s family that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution.
“As in every case under consideration for federal prosecution, the government must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a federal crime was committed,” the US Attorneys’ Offices said in a release Wednesday.
