MEXICO CITY — Mexican prosecutors have filed charges against a U.S. woman suspected of killing a Charlotte woman seen being beaten in a viral video.

Prosecutors in the state of Baja California Sur did not name the suspect in the Oct. 29 death of Shanquella Robinson.

But on Thursday, they said they had approached Mexican federal prosecutors and diplomats to try to get the woman extradited to face charges in Mexico.

Robinson's death at a resort development in San Jose del Cabo shocked people in both countries. The video raised suspicions that Robinson may have died at the hands of people she was traveling with.

Local prosecutor Antonio López Rodríguez said the case was being treated as a potential homicide and an arrest warrant had been issued for the suspect.

The group Robinson was traveling with, however, left Mexico after she was found dead in a rented villa.

State prosecutor Daniel de la Rosa Anaya said the suspect was also an American, but did not identify her.

People Robinson was traveling with gave differing versions of how she died, but an autopsy revealed she died of a severe spinal cord or neck injury.

Organizers for Robinson’s GoFundMe, which has raised $300,000, say people on the trip with Robinson claimed she died of alcohol poisoning.

A video apparently taped at the luxury villa in San Jose del Cabo shows one woman, apparently an American, beating another woman identified as Robinson.

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.

The video raised questions about why nobody intervened in the purported beating, or why people she was traveling with would have beaten her.

Hundreds of people in Charlotte gathered for Robinson’s funeral at Macedonia Baptist Church Saturday.

A horse-drawn carriage carried Robinson’s casket – painted pink, yellow and orange with a photo of the 25-year-old on top.

Robinson’s family wants the people responsible to be held accountable.

The FBI in Charlotte has also opened an investigation into Robinson’s death.

“We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss,” State Department officials said.
