How and why Tejano music sensation Selena killed at the age of 23

In early 1995, the Quintanillas discovered that Yolanda Saldívar , president of her fan club and manager of Selena's clothing boutiques was embezzling money from the fan club and decided to fire her. Three weeks later, Selena agreed to meet Saldívar at a Days Inn motel in Corpus Christi to retrieve financial records Saldívar had been refusing to turn over. Saldívar once again delayed the handover by claiming she had been raped in Mexico.Selena then drove Saldívar to a local hospital, where doctors found no evidence of rape.They returned to the motel, where Selena again demanded the missing financial papers.Saldívar drew a pistol from her purse and pointed it at Selena. Selena tried to flee, but Saldívar shot her once in her right shoulder, severing an artery. Critically wounded, Selena ran towards the lobby for help. She collapsed on the floor as the clerk called 911, with Saldívar still chasing her and calling her a "bitch".Selena died in a hospital from loss of blood at 1:05 p.m. on March 31, 1995, 16 days before her 24th birthday.

Selena was buried at Seaside Memorial Park, in Corpus Christi, Texas.
