Mexico - Shanquella Robinson, 25, American, Beaten to death in apparent “femicide”, San Jose del Cabo, 28 Oct 2022

I remember the headlines about SR and can't believe it's already been a year.

There's insufficient info in the article here where this civil suit is being filed but seems to me it's a civil suit for wrongful death.

Unfortunately for the victim's family, I doubt the lawsuit by the parents will be successful and/or dismissed for failing to state a (actionable) claim.

Generally, it's not a crime to remain silent (pursuant to the Fifth Amendment).

As far as I can find, NC only has enforceable reporting laws for crimes against juveniles-- (i.e., State and Federal laws that follow the guidelines generally written for "mandatory reporters").

Although some states have enacted legislation to make not reporting a felony actionable, here, I think they'd have to prove the group's silence was to actively conceal a crime. JMO
