Selena Quintanilla-Pérez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The biggest headline surrounding Selena Quintanilla-Perez in the past few days has been the release of her full autopsy report, finally made public 30 years after her tragic death. As confirmed by US Weekly and widely covered by CBS4, the report was obtained from the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s office and details exactly how Selena died—her cause of death was exsanguinating internal and external bleeding due to a perforating gunshot wound of the chest. Medical officials confirm the bullet entered her back, traveled through her ribs into her upper pulmonary lobe, and punctured her chest wall, with an exit wound detected on her upper right chest. This revelation serves both as closure and lingering heartbreak for fans who still mourn the Queen of Tejano Music.
The release of the autopsy coincides with the buzz around Netflix’s documentary Selena y Los Dinos: A Family Legacy, which premiered just this week. The family appears in emotional interviews reflecting on Selena’s final moments, the chaos at the hospital, and the pain that still reverberates three decades later. Suzette and A.B. Quintanilla recall their shock and grief, while father Abraham describes the ongoing depth of sorrow. Chris Pérez, Selena’s husband, offers a poignant perspective—grieving, yet proud of the legacy that continues to grow. Oxygen aired their own docuseries earlier this year with a rare interview from Yolanda Saldívar, the woman who killed Selena. Saldívar again claimed the shooting was accidental and expressed regret, but most outlets and the family remain focused on Selena herself, not her assailant.
On the business front, Selena’s estate—now valued at approximately $25 million according to Finance Monthly—continues to blossom with new licensing deals, surrogate merchandise drops, and boosts from the documentary. Streaming royalties and viral social media trends fan the flames, as fans celebrate her music while retailers ride waves of anniversary sales. The popularity of the Netflix doc supercharged streams and merchandise in the days following its release, amplifying her estate’s robust revenue. Meanwhile, industry insiders whisper about a proposed Selena hologram, with speculation about a Las Vegas residency at the Sphere building real momentum. Not confirmed but widely discussed: this technological revival could, experts say, increase the estate’s profits by 50 percent in less than five years—a seismic shift if brought to life.
Social media channels have been ablaze with tribute posts, clips from Netflix, and emotional messages from celebrities and fans alike. Viral moments include #BidiBidiBomBom trending again and viral clips of Selena’s interviews and performances shared on TikTok, Instagram, and X. Selena’s legacy thrives—her story is mourned, celebrated, and reimagined daily, proof that her impact refuses to fade.
