Overview

Selena Quintanilla-Perez was a Mexican-American singer who achieved international fame as a member of Selena y Los Dinos and for her subsequent solo career in both Spanish and English. In January 1995, Quintanilla Jr. began receiving telephone calls and letters from angry fans who had sent membership payments and had received nothing in return. He began investigating their complaints and found evidence that Saldivar had embezzled $60,000 from the fan club and the boutiques using forged checks. After the Quintanilla family confronted her about this, Saldivar bought a gun and fatally shot Selena on the morning of March 31, 1995. Although the healthcare team tried to revive Selena, she was ultimately pronounced dead due to hypovolemic shock and cardiac arrest. Upon discovery of her thieving, she was fired in March of 1995. Three weeks after her firing, Selena agreed to meet with Saldivor under the pretext that she would be giving her the financial records of her fan club business. Upon her arrival, Saldivar told Selena that she had been raped. Horrified, Selena took her fan club president to a hospital where doctors found no evidence of rape. They returned to the motel and Saldivar then pointed a gun at the popular singer. What happened next would change the course of Tejano music forever...
