Gone too soon, Shanquella Robinson & Tyre Nichols…

It’s sad that we live in a world where people that you call friends, might not be as loyal as they portray themselves to be. Shanquella Robinson, a 25-year-old entrepreneur, life was cut short when she took a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with 6 friends back in October 2022. Her friends plotted a heinous attack on her that left her with a spinal cord injury and later took her life. These no-good, so called friends tried to say that Shanquella suffered from alcohol poisoning. The autopsy and video recording told a different story. It’s disturbing when your “best friend” watches on and records the entire incident on video, but does nothing to stop the beating by intervening; however, you hear his insensitive comment, “Girl, at least try to fight back”. With friends like that, who needs enemies? 

On January 7, 2023, Tyre Nichols was beaten by 5 African American Memphis police officers, and he succumbed to his injuries 3 days later. These police officers should not be in a position of power because it’s clear that they do not honor the badge they were given. There is a video circulating online of the beating that has been viewed all around the country. The officers lied and said that Tyre was resisting arrest and the video clearly shows otherwise. Several months later, all the officers were fired and charged though they’ve pleaded not guilty.

These are both on-going investigations and we believe justice will be served and closure will be had for both families of the victims.
