“Our hearts go out to Ms. Robinson’s family and friends,” said Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary. “It’s devastating what occurred. It’s a tragedy. We’ve been following the news. Because there’s an FBI investigation, there’s very little about what we can say.”
Mexican investigators believe she was killed and issued an arrest warrant but have not released the name of the suspect.
Earlier this week, Channel 9 obtained a letter that attorneys for Robinson’s family sent to President Joe Biden and the secretary of state calling on them to extradite the suspect in the case.
Shanquella, of Charlotte, died in October 2022 while on vacation in Mexico with friends.
