The self-made Tejano superstar was shot and killed two weeks shy of her 24th birthday. This article originally appeared in the San Antonio Express-News on April 1, 1995, one day after Selena's death.
A Corpus Christi police officer leaves his patrol car enroute back to the scene of a standoff between police and Yolanda Saldivar Friday afternoon, March 31, 1995. Saldivar held police at bay for over nine hours, threatening to kill herself, before surrendering late Friday night. She is accused of killing Tejano singer Selena in a motel room before barricading herself in a pickup truck in the motel's parking lot.
Ruben DeLeon, catering manager for the motel, said he was in the lobby when the mortally wounded Selena staggered through the door and collapsed on the floor. She was shot in the right shoulder. "She was very young, and she had a very promising career," said James Butcher, 23, who arrived several hours after the shooting.Another bystander, Martin Figueroa, 29, said he had come as soon as he heard news of the situation.
Robles said she would occasionally help Selena with yard work earning $10 for an hour or so of work. Selena was known in the working class neighborhood for her kindness to children, never hesitating to give them autographs or concert tickets.A cousin, Stephanie Robles, also 14, said Selena was a role model.
At the time of her death, the Grammy winning singer was idolized by fans in the United States, where she was poised to make the quantum leap from Tejano to pop stardom.
