The friend of the woman found dead in Mexico was issued an arrest warrant

Arrest warrant for a coastal woman fatally assaulting a friend of hers in Mexico, according to a prosecutor

An arrest warrant has been issued in Mexico for a woman suspected of fatally assaulting a friend from North Carolina while on vacation last month in San Jose del Cabo, a prosecutor says.

Robinson’s dad told CNN last week that his daughter last talked to her mother on the phone on October 28, 888-276-5932 888-276-5932 888-276-5932 888-276-5932s. The next day, Shanquella Robinson was found dead at her vacation rental, US and Mexican authorities said.

A Thursday statement by the Mexican prosecutors said that Robinson and six of his friends arrived October 28 in Mexico.

Mexican officials have not named the suspect but she is a US citizen, and they believe she is in the United States. No one has been charged in the case, and authorities have not released the names of Robinson’s friends.

Daniel de laRosa, the attorney general for Mexico’s Baja California Sur region, told local media that the suspect was being extradited.

“There is already an arrest warrant issued for the crime of femicide to the detriment of the victim and against an alleged, responsible for these acts, a friend of hers,” de la Rosa said Wednesday.

The FBI has begun an investigation into the disappearance of a jewel from a girl traveling to Mexico with a medically-induced spinal cord injury

The cause of death for her was listed on her death certificate as “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation” and it was obtained by WBTV. The document says she was found unconscious in the living room.

The death certificate classified Robinson’s death as “accidental or violent,” noting that the approximate time between injury and death was 15 minutes.

The video appears to show a fight between Robinson and another person in a room. She died from an injury, it is unclear when the video was taken or what the moment was.

CNN has learned that the FBI Charlotte Field Office has begun an investigation into Robinson’s death. No charges have been leveled, and there is no information on the friends of Robinson.

“You took my only jewel from me,” he told CNN by phone Thursday. “You put a big hole in my heart. I cannot let her die in vain, so I have to fight for her.

The four Americans who authorities say were kidnapped in Mexico on Friday were a tight-knit group of friends traveling from South Carolina so one of them – a mother of six – could undergo a medical procedure across the border, two family members told CNN.

Washington’s mother said her daughter had gone to Mexico before for a medical procedure. The daughter traveled to the country for the surgery about two to three years ago.

On Sunday, Burgess said she was informed by the FBI that her daughter had been kidnapped and was in danger. “They said if she calls me to call them,” she said.

Searching for the Missing U.S. Citizens in Tamaulipas, Puerto Rico: Investigation of a Mexican Drug Trafficker

Federal and local Mexican authorities are participating in the effort to locate the missing Americans, Tamaulipas Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica said Monday.

A US official tells CNN that an investigation shows that Americans were mistaken for Haitian drug traffickers by a Mexican drug gang.

Brown’s sister told CNN that the group of friends grew up in South Carolina. She added, that she and her brother are also close. Vondel is a descendant of my hip bone, he is like my shadow. We’re just tight like that.”

Mexico is a favorite destination for travelers looking for cheaper, alternative medical treatments that can’t be found in the US. But the CDC warns the growing trend can carry dangerous risks depending on the destination and facility, including infection and possible post-procedure complications.

Receipts found in the group’s vehicle also indicated the Americans were in Mexico for medical procedures, a US official with knowledge of the investigation tells CNN.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday that the group had crossed the border to “buy medicines” and assured the “whole government” is working to resolve the case.

These sort of attacks don’t represent what we want to see. The White House is ready to provide all appropriate assistance for the families of those who have died, a spokeswoman told reporters on Monday.

Washington McGee and her niece from a video posted by Washington and her husband, Jeff, and their son, Andrew, in a Jacksonville, Fla., airport

She said Monday that Washington was a mother and that she would like to have her back. She said that Washington McGee had children from 6 to 18 years old.

She and her blonde hair were recognized by us. She said she recognized her niece’s clothing from the live video Washington McGee posted to Facebook.

“She is a mother and we need her to come back here for her kids,” she said, adding that Washington McGee’s children range in age from 6 to 18 years old.

A video obtained by CNN shows a woman and other unidentified people being roughly loaded into a white pickup truck. CNN confirmed the video matches the event but didn’t know if the four Americans were shown in the video.

Additionally, photos obtained by CNN appear to show fragments of the scene where the situation occurred, including the car believed to have been driven by the Americans crashed with another vehicle before they were taken at gunpoint from the scene.

The FBI would not confirm the authenticity of the photos, but CNN has geolocated the images and confirmed their authenticity with a US official with knowledge of the investigation.

The photos also show a woman looking at and then sitting next to three people lying on the ground outside a white minivan. All the doors of the van are open. It is unclear whether the four people in the photos are the US citizens.

The woman then appears to have been loaded onto the bed of a white pickup truck, beside which several people can be seen lying on the street, the photos show.

LaTavia Washington McGee: A Mexican citizen killed in the act of abduction in Matamoros, South of the Rio Grande

The investigators in the case of the abduction of US citizens are working to gather footage, collect evidence, and take biological samples to help them identify the culprits.

Though US law enforcement were not involved in the search on the ground, federal and local agencies in Mexico were cooperating in the effort and a joint task force was created to communicate with US officials, Barrios Mojica said.

The FBI is asking the public for help in locating Americans and identifying anyone who took part in the incident. A $50,000 reward for the return of the victims and the identification of the culprits was announced by the agency.

Some Mexican cities have become a breeding ground for organized crime and drug dealing as the country has been battling such operations for at least six years.

Matamoros is located just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas and has a population of more than 500,000. The city has recently been the site of a large encampment of asylum-seeking migrants hoping to cross into the US.

“Criminal groups target public and private passenger buses, as well as private automobiles traveling through Tamaulipas, often taking passengers and demanding ransom payments,” the State Department advisory says.

LaTavia Washington McGee, one of the surviving Americans, is expected to come home Wednesday, her mother, Barbara McLeod Burgess, said in an interview with “CNN This Morning.”

The family members said that the group didn’t make it to the doctors office on Friday. Their car was intercepted by unidentified gunmen who fired on the Americans, loaded them into a vehicle and took them from the scene, according to the FBI. A Mexican bystander was also killed by a stray bullet.

The autopsies concluded Wednesday morning, an official from the prosecutor’s office told CNN. The cause of death was not yet being made public, the official said, and more details would be released later.

Williams had been shot in the legs three times and was brought to a hospital in Texas to undergo surgery, his wife, Michele Williams, told CNN. Williams was emotional while talking to his wife on the phone and he said that he considered Brown and Woodard to be his brothers. She said that their son was happy to hear from his father.

Burgess told WPDE he had got his daughter and she was alive. Washington McGee cried on the phone to her from the hospital, Burgess told the affiliate. She watched two of them die. They died in front of her.

The friend said she reached out to the doctor’s office in Mexico on Saturday after hearing that the clinic had contacted Washington McGee’s cousin to say she never made it to her appointment.

The two deaths of Jose “N” Villarreal, 24, and two men who were killed on the lagun rampage in Matamoros, Mexico

One person has been detained in connection with the two deaths who was undertaking “surveillance functions of the victims,” Villarreal said, identifying the individual as 24-year-old Jose “N.” Officials would not confirm whether the person is connected to a criminal organization.

After becoming lost on their way to the clinic, the friends tried to reach the doctor’s office for directions but were having difficulty because of a poor phone signal, the close friend said.

The FBI states that at some point as the friends were driving, a minivan was sprayed with gunfire and then the Americans were loaded into their vehicle and taken away. The Mexican official stated that there were men in a pickup truck.

When Mexican authorities arrived on the scene, they noticed the Americans had North Carolina license plates and contacted the US to get them to run them, according to Irving Barrios Mojica.

Several family members and friends have described to CNN the panic and worry that began to set in as more time passed and their calls and texts to the group went unanswered.

People were calling all of their phones and then sending them a message, according to a friend who did not want to be named. “I called her mom, too, and she told me she hasn’t been able to contact them either. That’s when I knew something was wrong.”

“When I reached out to the doctor’s office, they told me that Latavia had reached out to them to ask them for directions because she was lost,” the friend said.

Another friend who said she had traveled to Texas with the group called police in Brownsville on Saturday to report that she hadn’t heard from the group since they left to drive to Matamoros the previous morning, according to a police report.
