Latina songstress Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, simply known as “Selena” was a rising star when her fan club founder, Yolanda Saldivar, gunned her down, at age 23, on March 31, 1995.

According to Time, Selena befriended Saldivar soon after the fan club was founded in 1991 and eventually hired her as an assistant and later as manager of the Selena Etc. clothing boutique. That’s when the trouble began. Saldivar was fired after reportedly embezzling funds from the Grammy winner. Some time later, Selena agreed to meet with Saldivar at a Day’s Inn in order to retrieve some financial records. It was there that Saldivar shot Selena.

According to The New York Times, a nine-hour standoff with police followed before Saldivar surrendered. She was sentenced to life in prison.
