Mexican prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death of a U.S. woman seen being beaten in a video that has gone viral.
The video has been reposted many times on social media sites. In it, a man with an American accent can be heard saying"Can you at least fight back?" The man did not appear to intervene in the beating.Prosecutors said police found Robinson dead at the villa on Oct. 29.
After Mexican prosecutors announced they had opened an investigation, Shanquella's mother, Salamondra Robinson, told"My stomach doesn't feel so empty. Feels like we getting somewhere," she said.the parents of Robinson were initially told that she had gotten sick with alcohol poisoning while on a trip with friends in Cabo on Oct. 28.
The video raised questions about why nobody intervened in the purported beating, or why people she was traveling with would have beaten her.
