    On 31 March 1995, at the age of 23, Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a rising Latino superstar, was murdered by her fan club manager in a Corpus Christi motel in Texas. Her death was met with widespread shock and disbelief by her fans. Earlier that year, Selena, as she was known, won a Grammy for her album Selena Live and was widely expected to break through into the US mainstream. Chris Perez, her husband and band member, describes the day his wife was shot by Yolanda Saldivar who was suspected of stealing from her boss. Ms Saldivar was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence.

      I think the family is more accepting today. And I'm not sure the family in itself actually rejected him in the first place. It was more Paternal than that. Dad was pissed at him, and Selena defied that and married him. Regardless, the world lost a Superstar on that day, and it tears me up that she didn't get that chance in life because of someone's selfishness. If anyone had a "LOVE of LIFE" it would have been Selena. And Trust me, she would have been HUGE, given that chance. I still to this day wonder 25 years later what she would have been able to accomplish. She was just at that "breakthrough" stage. And DAMN, gone the next day. HUG and kiss everyone you love as much as possible, none of us knows what tomorrow brings.

I really wasn’t into Mexican music. it took the movie about Selena with Jennifer Lopez, because we were already familiar with her, that’s when I got into Selena. I bought the album, I even have it to this day and I’ve been in love with her ever sense and if it wasn’t for the movie. I would’ve never knew about her.

      SraiTdenI I'm pretty sure of all people Chris knows how his wife should, and would be remembered. I've only read a few comments, but I'm seeing a few talking about blaming Chris. Selena wanted to handle the situation with Yolanda alone the day she died. She couldn't have possibly known that the psycho would shoot, and kill her. It's super crazy. Yolanda was once a nurse, who was a fan of Selena's. Somehow she ended up in her close circle. A switch flipped, and she got upset with Selena and the family. She claims to this day she didn't intentionally shoot her. Which is of course is total bullshit, because she wouldn't have ever had the gun to begin with. Just saying. Chris loved Selena. I would recommend when you have the time, go to Corpus Christi to the museum they have there for her. Tons of letters are in a case that allows fans to read them. By the first few sentences you can automatically just see the kind of love they both had for each other.

Also, the recent Netflix series was piece of work, that watered down Selena's personality and character. The '97 movie was more accurate than the Netflix series. I am beginning to believe they (Selena's family, minus her mom) deliberately did this as away to brush all the negativity surrounding their family after her death. Not sure if you knew this but three weeks after Selena's death, Abraham approached Salma Hayek and asked her to portray her in the now famous bio pic. Luckily, Salma declined his offer.
