During the rally a community leader delivered a strong message saying, “Charlotte is going to take the lead and keep the lead in fighting for Quella.” The woman said. “To the family I can’t even imagine what your going through I’m not even trying to, but I have two beautiful daughters the same ages I can’t say what I would do because I still have mine. But I’m going to offer up service because I know about social justice because I was in the cage. But God is going to take care of it.”

Well guess what I just told you something because I been through something. Thank you God take care of the Robinson family. We love you! We stand with you! FIGHT FOR QUELLA!

Shanquella Robinson’s Mother Previously Revealed How She Found Out A Fight Occurred During The Trip
Shanquella Robinson’s mother is recently spoke out about her daughters death in a new interview with ABC news. During the interview Salamondra Robinson reflects on the moments when she found out her daughter died while on vacation with her friends in Mexico.
Salamondra says she got a disturbing call from someone and she didn’t even know who it was, but the person told her that her friends were fighting her on the trip and hung up the phone. “I got a call that they were over there fighting that girl and that’s the way they left it just like that.” She said
Later after receiving that disturbing call, Salamondra says she confronted the so called “friends” about the call she received when they visited her at her Charlotte home. “They was crying and said they never had a fight they even sat there and said what they were picking out to wear to the funeral.” She added.
As we previously reported, a began video circulating online in recent weeks appears to show a physical altercation inside a room between Robinson and another person. Her father, Bernard Robinson, also did a recent interview where he said his daughter is seen in that video being thrown to the floor and beaten on the head. It’s not clear when the video was taken or if it depicts the moment Robinson suffered the injury that led to her death.
