Selena thought that Yolanda was a good friend and she was, until she literally shot Selena in the back, and Yolanda has a history of emotional and psychological problems, for Yolanda was often teased and bullied as a child and had literally no friends
Her family and her husband. Selena and her family made their money together her dad was her manager and her older brother and sister were in her band along with her husband.
The Quintanillas still live in Corpus and run Q productions. Abraham Quintanilla III is married with 8 children and continues to perform with Kumbia All Starz and writes songs. Suzette Quintanilla helps her father Abraham run Q productions as the vp and she is also married with children. Suzette also does a few public appearannces on television etc. Marcella Quintanilla keeps out of the public eye.
She would perform at her parents resturaunt papa gayos.
Well she actually played on Barney for a while as Gianna, but she started her Disney channel career by participating in a Disney nationwide talent search that they did a while back. Then they started giving her roles on like Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana, then they found a show for her, Wizards of Waverly Place.
Selean Gomez was never poor she was always rich with a beautiful voice.
Her most famous boutique is in Corpus Christi Texas (The one that people like to take pictures of the Selena Etc. logo outside of the building, and the same one that the Quintanillas have confirmed that will be closed really soon)
However she did want to open a 2nd boutique in Monterrey, Mexico but probably this never worked out at the end.
Selena became a role model and a hero for her fans because she showed them that she could do what she loved most and still live her life. She also taught them that just because she was "famous" she didn't let it get to her head like most artists and she basically was an amazing singer and she died at a very young age but she lived her life the way SHE wanted and she didn't let anybody let her think otherwise. Many many people loved Selena and would want her to be their role model and i agree. :)
Selena had one brother, Abraham Quintanilla III, and one sister, Suzette Michelle Quintanilla-Arriaga.
The home where Selena and her family lived during the time they operated the Papagayos restaurant, is located at 104 Caladium Street. It is the actual house that was portrayed in her movie in 1997, though the one in the movie was a set that resembled the original look of her house in Lake Jackson.
Selena died on March 31, 1995 after being shot by Yolanda Saldivar, her fan club president.
Selena died March 31, 1995. She was shot to death.
Her manager and fan club-president ,Yolanda Saldivar,killed her. Trying to avoid the subject of her taking money from Selena's boutiques, she (Yolanda) told Selena that she had been raped. After taking her to the hospital and finding no proof of Yolanda being raped, her and Selena went to a motel and Selena told Yolanda that she couldn't trust her anymore. So Yolanda drew a gun from her bag and shot Selena in the back. Selena ran outside the room and collapsed on the lobby floor. Selena died March 31, 1995, at the age of 23.
she was 21 years old. Plus it was her only Grammy.
yes, she was shot and killed by Yolanda Saldivar. Yolanda Saldivar was the head of her fan club and was embezzling money and when Selena confronted her in a hotel Yolanda took out her pistol and started shooting at Selena calling her a "Crazy B*%#h". She bled to death in the lobby and Yolanda is still in jail today.
March 31, 1995. Her fan club president, Yolanda Saldivar, was embezzling (stealing) money and she continually tried to delay returning the statements back to Selena. When she reached the end of her rope, Selena shouted to Yolanda that she was fired and Yolanda abruptly pulled a gun onto her. Apparently, Yolanda was constantly bullied as a kid, never made any friends, and was isolated from the social life. So she obviously had emotional problems
Her father is Mexican American and her mother is half-Cherokee
The hotel is still open. They have re-numbered the rooms so room # 158 where Selena was shot now has # 150.
i believe the room is not available for anyone thought its like locked and everything
Selena is 5'8" tall; at least that is the height of her life sized bronze statue they built in her memory.
I love Selena! she will always remain in my heart forever! Thanks for all the music, dedication, hard work and the passion. Wish I could have met her in person but at least she will rest with all the angels in the skies above.
It was the Days Inn Hotel on 901 Navigation Blvd in Corpus Christi,Texas. More specifically, it was in room 158, but the room is no longer numbered 158. It has been said that this room is now numbered 150, but it is exactly 392 feet from the motel lobby doors.
Selena was a brave, beautiful,smart, talented woman. She was also a determined,loving, and caring friend.
If Selena Quintanilla-Perez was still alive, she would have turned 40 years old on April 16,2011.

Selena Gomez was named after the late Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez. Her mom thought she was an idol so she named her daughter Selena. And sometimes, in her concerts, she also does tributes to Selena and sings some of her songs.
Yolanda is the youngest of 8 children, so she has 7 siblings
The film was directed by Gregory Nava. Nava himself is of Mexican heritage and was a fan of Selena's music and like thousands of people, he too was hit hard by Selena's untimely death.
