Family of Shanquella Robinson Says Tubi Series 'Street Legal' Exploits Her Death
Sallamondra Robinson (second from left) speaks during a press conference on the investigation into the murder of Sallamondra’s daughter Shanquella Robinson outside the National Council of Negro Women Headquarters on May 19, 2023 in Washington, DC.
Tubi and their series Street Legal are under pressure from the family of Shanquella Robinson to stop allegedly using her death for views. A cease-and-desist letter was served to the crime show, stating that Robinson’s likeness was used but her family and those who oversee her estate never gave their permission to do so.
The episode entitled “Frenemies” is from Season 2, Episode 2 of Street Legal and contains the description: “Within 24 hours, a group of friends traveling to Cabo, Mexico, for a birthday celebration turns into a crime scene, and everyone has a different story. Are they friends or enemies?”
