Tuesday marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a famous Latina singer fatally shot in 1995 by her fan club's founder.

She was the youngest child of Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and Marcella Ofelia Samora. She joined her brother Abraham (A.B.) who was eight and sister Suzette who was four. At the time of her tragic murder on March 31st 1995, Selena was known as The Queen of Tejano.
