In Episode 5, State of Texas v. Yolanda Saldivar, Lisa and Kyle talked about the 1995 murder of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, an American singer-songwriter who was known as the “Queen of Tejano Music.” By the age of 23, Selena had broken barriers in the Tejano music industry, which until then, had been dominated by men (even in the minds of the audiences). In 1994, she won a Grammy Award and launched what would become a multi-million dollar fashion business. In early 1995, she was about to make her crossover debut as a solo pop artist in the English-language market. In February, 1995, she performed at a record breaking, sold-out concert at the Houston Astrodome. On March 31, 1995, Selena's life was taken by Yolanda Saldivar, a fan who wormed her way into Selena's inner circle and then took advantage of Selena's trust.

Long before Latin music ruled the airwaves and charts, Tejano was king… and there was one man at the center of it all: Johnny Canales.His impact on the music industry is undeniable. Johnny helped Selena Quintanilla skyrocket to success and he helped make many other Tejano artists highly visible.In this episode, Maria Hinojosa sits down with Adrian Arredondo and Myrna Perez, the directors of “Take It Away: The Rise and Fall of Tejano Hollywood,” a new documentary that looks at the life of Canales and his legacy.Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa. Follow the show to get every episode. Follow us on TikTok and YouTube.

In other news, Frisco police say they are investigating after a bullet struck a school Thursday morning, though they don't believe the campus was targeted. An officer responded to “a suspicious circumstance” at Hosp Elementary just before 9:30 a.m. It said the officer found a shattered classroom window and subsequently what was believed to be bullet fragments; insurance giant Geico announced plans to add 1,000 jobs and a new 165,000-square-foot building in Richardson; and the Allen City Council on Tuesday approved $5.5 million in downtown improvement funds to buy and clean up a 7-acre parcel along U.S. Highway 75, just north of Main Street.

In the pantheon of music legends whose voices were silenced too soon, Selena Quintanilla's story stands out not just as a tragedy, but as an American dream interrupted. Born to a struggling family in Texas, Selena transformed from a child performer singing in her family's failing restaurant to the undisputed Queen of Tejano music – shattering records, breaking barriers, and creating a cultural phenomenon that transcended musical genres.What makes Selena's journey so compelling is how her extraordinary talent was matched by remarkable business acumen. By 23, she wasn't just dominating charts and winning Grammys – she was building a multi-million dollar empire spanning music, fashion, and beauty. Her boutiques "Selena Etc." were generating over $5 million, her concerts sold out stadiums, and she was on the cusp of a breakthrough English-language album that would have certainly catapulted her to global superstardom.The devastating irony of Selena's story lies in how her greatest strengths – her trust, loyalty, and generous spirit – created the circumstances for her downfall. Yolanda Saldivar, a seemingly devoted fan who became Selena's close friend and business associate, methodically exploited that trust. When confronted about embezzling nearly $30,000 from Selena's fan club and boutiques, Saldivar responded not with remorse but with violence, ending a brilliant life and career that had only begun to realize its potential.Looking back at what Selena accomplished in just 23 years, we can only imagine what her legacy might have become. Her posthumous crossover album "Dreaming of You" debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, confirming what those close to her already knew – Selena wasn't just going to cross over to mainstream success; she was poised to redefine it entirely. Her story reminds us how fragile life can be, how carefully we must guard our trust, and how a voice silenced too soon can still echo powerfully across generations.Send us a message!Persons of InterestFrom murderers to money launderers, thieves to thugs – police officers from the...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showDeath in Entertainment is hosted by Kyle Ploof, Alejandro Dowling and Ben Kissel.New episodes every week!https://linktr.ee/deathinentertainment

Episode 59 –Tejanos during the civil war The Rio Grande, since it was the border between Texas and Mexico was important to both the Confederacy and the Union. The Confederacy wanted to use it to bring in supplies and the Union wanted to keep it bottled up. Regardless of their reasonings, both the North and the Sount did their best to recruit and draft Mexican Texans. The confederates set up camps in Laredo, Brownsville, Victoria, and Corpus Christi and trained approximately 2,550 Mexican Americans from Texas. They primarily served inside the state with the regular confederate army or with various companies of the state militia. José Agustín Quintero, who was actually a Cuban American and hailed from New Orleans, joined the Quitman Guards of Texas. That group saw action in Virginia and Quintero was later appointed by President Jefferson Davis to serve as the confidential agent (a sort of ambassador) of the Confederate government in Mexico. While the majority of those who joined were either in their teens or early twenties, there were some who were in their sixties. The majority did join the confederate army, still an estimated 960 joined the Union army. In many cases, their reasons for joining came about partly because they or their family members remember how they had been treated during some of the events of the Texas Revolution and in particular how Mexican were treated after the revolution. (Check out my books Years of Revolution 1830 to 1836. And A Failing Republic Becomes a State 1836-1850. For more about those time periods and what took place.)     One such union group was the Second Texas Cavalry (U.S.), which was comprised largely of Texas Mexicans and Mexican nationals; not sure why, but this unit suffered a high desertion rate.    Much like people everywhere Mexican Americans of Texas (Tejanos) were divided over the whole issue of secession. Before the war even started there were accusations of subversion and disloyalty being thrown about, which made many reluctant to even become involved. Part of the reasons that almost everyone who signed up to serve in a militia unit, especially from South Texas or from the frontier,  was a healthy fear of being sent to serve in the deep south and thus away from their families. Several people avoided conscription simply by claiming that they were actually residents and citizens of Mexico. There were at least 2,500 Mexican Texans who actually signed p to serve in the Confederate Army. Santos Benavides was perhaps the most famous of them, and he was eventually put in charge of the 33rd Texas Cavalry with the rank of colonel. The 33rd Texas Cavalry was never defeated in battle even though they did not have the best equipment or supplies. In fact, Colonel Benavides, and his Refugio and Cristóbal, put together what can only be thought of as an incredible record in defending the border. In May of 1861, they became folk heroes to southern sympathizers, after they defeated a band of anti-Confederates who were led by Juan N. Cortina at Carrizo (Zapata) . They also led incursions into northern Mexico seeking revenge for Unionist-inspired guerilla raids into Texas. In March of 1865, they also succeeded in repulsing a small group of Union solders that attacked Laredo. A few of the Tejano's who joined Hood's Texas Brigade actually were sent into Virginia where they fought in the battles of Gaines' Mill, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Appomattox Court House. Some Thirty Tejanos from San Antonio, Eagle Pass, and the Fort Clark area signed up and joined Trevanion T. Teel's artillery company, and thirty-one more joined Charles L. Pyron's company, and ended up marching across West Texas to help in the fight to secure the Mesilla valley. Some Tejanos from San Antonio served in the Sixth Texas Infantry and fought in several of the eastern campaigns, including the battles of Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Atlanta,

Will Selena's Killer Be Set Free 30 Years After Her Murder? What happens when a beloved icon is taken from the world in the prime of their life, and the person responsible gets a second chance at freedom? In 1995, the world mourned the loss of Selena Quintanilla, the Tejano superstar whose bright future in the English music market was cut short. Her killer? Yolanda Saldívar, a trusted confidante and president of Selena's fan club. Now, after nearly 30 years behind bars, Saldívar is up for parole—a prospect sparking outrage and debate. Should someone who committed such a violent act ever be granted freedom, no matter how "well-behaved" they've been in prison? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind such cases, exploring the nature of rehabilitation, societal consequences, and whether public opinion should weigh into decisions of justice.

Could the woman behind one of the most shocking betrayals in music history walk free? Yolanda Saldívar, the former fan club president turned convicted murderer of Tejano icon Selena, could be eligible for parole after 30 years behind bars. Despite her claims of innocence and the passage of time, questions linger about her rehabilitation—or lack thereof. Would she truly be safer on the outside, or is her notoriety still a danger to herself and others? Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, dives into the complex dynamics of justice, public safety, and revenge as the parole board faces a decision that could reignite decades-old passions.

What happens when a beloved icon is taken from the world in the prime of their life, and the person responsible gets a second chance at freedom? In 1995, the world mourned the loss of Selena Quintanilla, the Tejano superstar whose bright future in the English music market was cut short. Her killer? Yolanda Saldívar, a trusted confidante and president of Selena's fan club. Now, after nearly 30 years behind bars, Saldívar is up for parole—a prospect sparking outrage and debate. Should someone who committed such a violent act ever be granted freedom, no matter how "well-behaved" they've been in prison? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind such cases, exploring the nature of rehabilitation, societal consequences, and whether public opinion should weigh into decisions of justice.

Tejano music, musicians, and its lasting influences are the focus of the new "Texas Monthly" podcast.

According to the experts, Tejano music — a true blend of musical styles authentic to Texas — hit its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, and then faded away after the murder of Selena Quintanilla. But it's back, and these days, it's more accessible and versatile than ever. Texas Monthly's new podcast, Viva Tejano, captures the nostalgia and experience of Tejano music, and today, its host, J.B. Sauceda, joins host Nikki DaVaughn in a trip down memory lane with a look ahead to the future.  Want some more Austin news?
