Grammy award-winning Tejano music superstar Selena, 23, died 20 years ago Tuesday. 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. Quintanilla-Perez, often known just by her first name, was more than a musician to thousands of fans.
Selena's death struck a collective nerve, and the emotions have reverberated for years. When former President George W. Bush was Governor of Texas he named April 12th Selena Day in honor of her birthday, and there are still celebrations every year.
