Subscribe to BBC News / bbcnews
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 strongly believe that. Selena was GORGEOUS, beautiful powerful strong voice, amazing performer, hilarious goofy personality, didn't seem to have an ego.

He absolutely loved her. I hate how Selena's family has pushed him away

[@paullie1963]

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.

[@kelseywhitener2910]

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.

I feel so sorry for her husband, I didn’t grow up with Selena but my dad tells me she was an amazing person an amazing singer. She really is...she will always be his angel in the sky

[@stephaniebarrera6180]

I'm sure Selena is proud of her husband's accomplishments. And is with him & spirit. Sad how her own dad knowing how much Selena loved him just alienated him.

[@kailynnwaylynn]

I can’t..I have to cry..I can’t leave without her..she is my idol..I sing her songs all the time..Rip baby..

[@Fascistbeast]

I was young hearing Selena’s songs on radio early 1990s I use to think one of the best vocals I’ve heard Dec 2020 now and still listening 👍😎

[@pdig2963]

This just breaks my heart, Hard to believe she will Be gone 25 years this year 2020, I still listen to her music does anybody else ? hit the like button if you do?

[@ATLXBL]

My heart breaks for Chris, actually tears run down my face for his broken heart... Seeing the woman who he passionately loved to never have a family with Selena truly truly makes me cry... I can't even imagine the only thing I would remember is Selena walking out the hotel.. And never came back.. Gone.. :(

[@Contessa_Savannah]

You know I always say Yolanda is a symbol of why you should keep yourself guarded against people who are jealous and want to take your light. Chris is right, Selena had a natural magnetism because she was a star by birth. And you have people who will try to get really close to you & pretend to be your friends when really all they want to do is destroy that light that they see because they don't feel like they can obtain it themselves. Rest in peace Selena you should still be here.

[@ElectedOfficial1]

I don't know how anyone could actually kill any person. How could Yolanda bring herself to fire that gun, knowing exactly, as a nurse, where to shoot to kill? You don't get that precise without practice. This was premeditated. I wonder if the DA checked shooting ranges to see if Yolanda had been preparing?! no one is that good of a shot by accident.

[@09Naraa]

Barbara Mowrey I agree BUT she shot Selena with hollow point bullets which expand on impact and is more likely to hit an artery. And yeah how did she know to get hollow point billets how did she even know how to shoot a gun? It was premeditated for sure!

[@peierple]

09Naraa Yolanda did in fact practice shooting when she went in to purchase the gun and lied that she was a home care taker and that she needed the gun for protection cus she had received death threats from patients fam members (a lie). asked Selena to meet up with her alone the day before, but Chris went with her and the two argued very loudly as Chris mentioned he could hear them from his truck parked outside the room!

[@CosmicButterflyx]

i love her so much... i honestly feel like ive lost one of my Own Family members or A best friend. shit man this hurts All the time when i think of her. she was and still is the Best To me she will always be my IDOL #R.i.p Selena! 😥

[@mermaidtale1]

She passed away before I was born but somehow I grew up just having a very strong connection to her. to this day I feel like crying every single time I listen to her music or see anything about her

[@noemirodriguez9137]

Selena's death still makes me so mad. She was so young and had a husband and a bright and successful future ahead of her! ARGGGHHHHH it makes me so mad and sad 😭

[@lovelydove8470]

I miss Selena so much and she inspires me to be a better woman and to never give up. RIP Selena

[@lindabecerra5778]

Every time I come across these Selena videos it makes me wants to cry loud and say why she had to die and why when till this day she could’ve make more beautiful songs 😭😭❤️I wish we can go back in time and to the point and save her life❤️😩

[@luciarosselini6199]

Feb 19 2017 this still making me cry

[@maxgarcia466]

Netflix should make a documentary about Selena

[@raider8sox]

Her music transcended past the Latin Music Community! You know she was special, when everyone is still talking about her! I'm Asian and love her music!

[@CyndiSilva]

All these years and all These videos ( or articles), doesn’t change how I react. I still cry.

[@edithsanchez6967]

I still miss her till this day 2019 R.I.P beautiful 😭

[@mmoreno1608]

I remember hearing the horrible news first on the radio while my dad was driving us we were visiting San Antonio at the time I was a little girl around 11 we drove back home to Austin and watched the news about Yolanda it was Live she was in a truck in the parking lot… Being so young not really knowing Selena I cried I felt that sadness in my heart and then I began to learn her music and dancing and became a Fan after her death.. Now my 3 little girls love her and we continue her music and legacy still to this day! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mmoreno1608]

San Antonio played her music and that’s all we listened to while driving around SA, Tx!

[@eej1983able]

I stand behind you, Chris. Rest in peace Selena

[@sofija4116]

every time i hear 'dreaming of you', i always think of chris and selena and how their love will always remain, whether one is alive or not. especially how she still reaches out to him and sends love to him, even when shes not physically there

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Selena, gone but not forgotten. 💖 Everytime I hear her voice it bring tears to my eyes. I cant even imagine the pain experienced by Chris and those in her life who were close to her. Rest in peace Selena 🙏🙏🙏

[@depressoespresso5922]

Such a talented singer, may she rest in peace

[@nicoleramos7543]

My heart breaks every time I hear about her story. It’s so unfair how her young and beautiful life was snatched away by a greedy selfish person. She had such a long life ahead of her, she had a husband and family that loved her to pieces and that was all snatched away. RIP Selena you’ll forever be in our hearts.

[@SA-ud9nf]

That pour guy. How heartbreaking. I pray he finds peace and love again. No one can replace Selena but God can bring live and restoration.

[@truthjuice9639]

Why does this still hurt

[@sheliajones6847]

She had a beautiful voice. I didn't understand Spanish, but I would listen to it, because her voice was so beautifully beautiful. 🙏💕🌷
