And Selena gave her an American Express card for the purpose of conducting company business.
Doesn't know that she's the stalker, though. Oh. Oh, yeah. Selina has no idea that she's the stalker. She just thinks she's a good friend of hers. That's like willing to do all this hard work. Yeah, that's like, you know, Selina's in this bubble of becoming famous and touring and all these things. And this person is becoming a trusted confidant and is a huge fan.
And clearly is an intelligent woman if she's a nurse. Yeah, totally. Okay. Yeah. And everyone said she was very manipulative and good at, you know, being manipulative. Yeah. 15 calls. That's all I have to say. Yeah. It worked somehow. So within a year, Saldivar had mismanaged the boutiques and they were failing.
And then upon investigation, the family finds out that Saldivar had embezzled more than I saw 60,000, but I also saw a hundred thousand dollars and forged checks from both the fan club and the boutiques. But Selena refused to believe it. She was like, no way. That's my friend.
Like even her father, who was a manager and her husband and brother were like, dude, they were like, dude, probably not like that. Um, but eventually Selena, uh, kind of sees some shit going on and believes it. And the family fires her, tells her not to come near Selena. But Selena still wanted to become friends, stay friends. She was like, you don't work for me anymore, but let's stay friends.
So at this time, Saldivar purchases a snub-nosed 38 caliber revolver. And here's what I think is the fucked up thing, is 38 caliber hollow point bullets. Then the bullets were designed to cause more extensive injuries than normal bullets.
which like throws out, later we'll talk about it. So on March 31st in 1995, she convinces Selena to meet you'll not her alone in a days in motel room, promising to restore, just return financial documents that she had stolen and telling Selena that she had to come alone and that she had, that Yolanda had been raped and needed someone to talk to.
And this, she has to make up this lie because three other times in the past, like couple of weeks, Yolanda had tried to get her alone and it had been foiled every time. And her husband had come or it had, They had met in a parking lot or something like that. So Yolanda was trying to get her alone. Yeah. So in the hotel room, they kind of fight over the documents.
And as they're doing that, the gun comes out and Selena turns to run and out the door and Saldivar shoots her in the back. as she's running out, severing an artery leading from her heart. And it came out the front of her chest on the other side. So it was kind of like a shoulder shot. And Selena's running towards the motel lobby as she's bleeding.
And Saldivar comes, there was a witness said that she chased after her, pointing the gun at her and calling her a bitch. Selena ran 130 yards to the motel's lobby and collapsed on the floor. And meanwhile, Yolanda's now trying to escape in her car. Um, and it was theorized that she's heading to the recording studio where the rest of Selena's family is to kill them too. That's what they thought.
But a police officer who was around the corner responded, stopped her and, uh, instead of getting out of the car, she pulls the car into a parking space and gets kind of blocked in, in this parking spot. So she's in her car in a parking spot with a gun won't come out. In the meantime, the motel staff is trying to help Selena.
An ambulance comes in less than two minutes, but Selena's pronounced dead at one Oh five from loss of blood and cardiac arrest. Yeah. Her last words were, this fucking makes me want to cry. Her last words, Yolanda Saldivar, room 158. Those were her last words, like not tell my family I love them. She was just trying to make sure they knew who did it. Yeah, which makes me so sad.
It's just like the last words out of your mouth are about your killer's name. Well, yeah. I mean, I know, like, I know, like you should get them out, but then I just wish it could then be like, something sweeter. She was only 23 years old. Oh no. Oh no, baby. Well, an autopsy is performed. And this is what I thought when I heard about her running after getting shot. She died of heart failure.
Wait, no. We realized Selena's heart fueled by adrenaline. And I think from running pumped all the blood out of her circulatory system. So I feel like if she hadn't run, she either might've gotten shot again by Yolanda, but she, but, or she, The blood might not have. It's those hollow point bullets. Yeah.
I mean, I don't think you can get shot and it comes out the other side and you can survive that. Right.
I mean, those things are evil. Yeah. Well, that's the thing is so event. So Sal's of ours trying to say, I was trying to say that it was an accident that she was going to kill herself, but it's like, well, why did you buy those bullets then? Yeah. Like you clearly had a motive. Um, so meanwhile, there's a nine hour standoff with Yolanda in which she is in her car with the gun to her head, um,
hysterically on the phone with the hostage or with the negotiator trying to say that she didn't mean to kill her. She was an accident. She was trying to kill herself and all these other excuses. But ultimately, let's see, she gave herself in and she got arrested. She's tried for first degree murder and claimed that the gun quote accidentally went off.
And all these other excuses, but ultimately it didn't work. And the jurors deliberated for less than three hours. And on October 23rd, 1995, they found Saldivar guilty. She's sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole in 30 years, which is going to be March 2025. But everyone's like... she is so incredibly hated in Texas, she will be murdered.
And she has to be in solitary confinement because of that, because the rest of the- Everybody wants to kill her in jail. Yeah, everyone in jail who was huge Selena fans her whole life wants to fucking murder her. Yeah, that's, I mean, yeah. Yeah, so she spends every day, 23 hours a day alone in a nine by six foot cell. Let's see.
So the case has been described as the most important trial for the Latino population, and it was compared to the OJ Simpson murder trial. It was one of the most publicly followed trials in the history of Texas. Wow. Her posthumous 1995 crossover album, Dreaming of You, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and became triple platinum. That just gave me chills. I know.
