The community will gather Saturday afternoon to hold a rally for Shanquella Robinson, the 25-year-old Charlotte woman who mysteriously died in Cabo San Lucas during a Mexico trip with friends.
“Everybody being arrested and doing time there,” Quilla Long, Robinson’s sister, said Wednesday. “That’ll be justice for us.”
The rally Saturday, organized by Million Youth March Of Charlotte & Salisbury, will meet on Dec. 10 at 4 p.m. at the Little Rock AME Zion Church in Uptown Charlotte. Organizers said the rally will be held indoors and will have various guest speakers who will give tributes.
