Sallamondra is also seeking damages in excess of $25,000 from the U.S. Department of State and FBI, per the lawsuit.
While speaking about the lawsuit in apress conference, Sallamondra appeared alongside her attorney Sue-Ann Robinson.
“We need justice for Shanquella Robinson,” Shanquella’s mom said, urging people to “step in.”
“This has been two years and there’s no reason that no one has not been arrested yet,” she added.
When PEOPLE reached out to the FBI for comment, the department shared that their “standard practice is to decline to comment on pending litigation.”

The suit comes after Shanquella’s family attorneys Ben Crump and Sue-Ann sent a letter to PresidentJoe Bidenasking him toput pressure on authorities to make an arrestin March 2023.
The following month, the U.S. Department of Justice said in anews releasethat based on the available evidence, authorities “have concluded thatfederal charges cannot be pursued.” The release at the time claimed a separate autopsy had been conducted in the U.S., but didn’t go into detail regarding its results.

Weeks after Shanquella’s death, a violent and disturbing video began circulating online showing her being beaten in what appeared to be the luxury villa she was vacationing at when she died.
Whilespeaking to PEOPLEin April of last year, Shanquella’s mom, Sallamondra, said she received a phone call from her daughter hours before her death.
“She said they were all having a good time, and I told her I’d talk to her tomorrow,” Sallamondra said. “And I never spoke to my daughter again.”
