Selena Quintanilla Perez

I did indeed decide to bas my exam monologue on the life of Selena Quintanilla Perez's life . I wrote my first draft of the monologue over the break and to write it , I had to do more research on Selena's life . It was quite sad . She was just making it big with her career and it was all ended before she could do so . She was murdered . Yolanda Saldívar , Selena Fan Club founder and friend to Selena had been caught embezzling money from Selena's business . Yolanda had been working the unpaid job of managing Selena's fan club and to show her appreciation , Selena promoted her to a paid position managing her new business . Workers were warning Selena that Yolanda was stealing from her , but Selena did not listen out of loyalty to her friendship with her . When Selena finally confronted Yolanda about the stolen money , she denied it and pleaded that there were documents proving no money had gone missing . She could not present these documents and Selena had to fire her . Selena went to pick up the paperwork from Yolanda , who at the time , was staying at a Days In . An argument broke out between the two and as Selena turned to leave , Yolanda shot her once in the back . Selena fell to the ground . She struggled her way to the main lobby of the hotel , where she collapsed . She was rushed to the hospital . On March 31 , 1995 , Selena Quintanilla Perez was pronounced dead . Yolanda is now in prison with no chance of parole until 2025 for the murder of Selena . It is still in question whether the murder was premeditated , which her family and loved ones believe it to be .
