  • This is my updated version of the Days Inn Hotel Room 150 in Corpus Christi, the hotel room that Yolanda Saldivar shot Selena Quintanilla those 19 years ago. I thought my video last year was in low quality and not very informative, so I decided to do an updated version. Hope you enjoy.

    I remember working a second job as a limo driver in 1991 and getting a run to Hobby airport in Houston I was to pick-up a passenger named "Selena" I didn't know who she was - I didn't listen to Spanish music and I didn't know what she looked like either. So I held my sign up as the passengers exited the terminal. I immediately noticed a beautiful long haired beauty walking towards me and we made eye contact and with a big wave and a smile she said and pointed to my sign and said "that's me." Her sister was with her and I drove them to the North line Mall off interstate 45/cross timbers in Houston. She was going to sing one song and do an interview for Univision. The whole time in the car she was laughing and asking me questions about what type of music I liked and what was my favorite band. I had no clue she was famous in Mexico - remember this was 1990 or 1991 . I remember calling my mother, because she was in tune to the music in Mexico and she knew exactly who she was.. Selena had brought a big box of her CD's the cover was of her wearing a black and white jacket I remember - she told me do you want one and I stupidly told her there were more people than she had CD's and to better give it to one of the kids at the show. After the show we three got into my Lincoln town car and Selena wanted to go to Jack in the Box to eat tacos..I drove her back to the airport and she told me she was planning to sing English songs in the future and that perhaps I would like her music since I at the time was not familiar with her music. It seemed she was more interested in my taste in music she was like searching for answers, because here I was clueless to who she was and that was very different to her. She was used to being around people who were star struck and I wasn't and that was fun to her. I picked her a few more times when she came to Houston. I had beautiful memories of the times I spent with her taking around town. Unfortunately, I discovered her music after her passing and am a big fan of her music now. I wish I would have appreciated her music when she was alive - this still bothers me today...RIP Selena...what you said came true - I am your fan!

    • @JoseMartinez-px2vx
      @JoseMartinez-px2vx 7 років тому +183

      No I see it differently we hit it off, because I wasn't a fan and liked her for who the individual she was and not the star that I didn't know she was becoming. There was a sincere appreciation for the person...I enjoyed very much the times I spent with her even though they were brief each time...Again this was 1990 her style of music was not played on the radio here in Houston - she was making her name in Mexico and I listened to American music...If I had been star struck she wouldn't have been so approachable to me...

      If only the shot was a quarter of an inch higher or lower. She may have survived. The bullet completely severed her right subclavian artery. Her dash to the lobby only sped up her death.

    • @Soleman92
      @Soleman92 7 років тому +101

      She was screaming the entire way according to witnesses. Knocking on doors wouldn't have helped her. Her fate was sealed. Yes, a horrific death for one of the kindest souls ever to walk this Earth.

    • @itsdazzlebtch
      @itsdazzlebtch 7 років тому +53

      Soleman92 I wonder, but I honestly doubt she would've survived... Selena was shot with a hollow point bullet, my uncle was murdered the same way... They call those bullets "cop killers" because they do so much damage to your insides and they almost always kill (depending on where shot)

    @Mexicanita1904 8 років тому +240

    That room makes me think more of Yolanda then Selena because Yolanda was the one who slept and stayed there. I can only imagine all the police and investigators that went in and out of that room 21 years ago when Selena died. Heartbreaking, she never knew how that one fateful visit to that run-down Motel would take her life. :-(

    • @Stevo_Drums
      @Stevo_Drums 7 років тому +12

      Selena trusted the very person who would ultimately commit the most evil act against her. I don't understand how Yolanda is still breathing, walking, and eating. In Texas, of all places. She's eligible for parole in 2025!

      If you look at the facts of the case, she is actually eligible for release in 2025. If we're fortunate, she'll die in prison before that, since she's a useless waste of space and air.

    When I was in Corpus Christi in 2011, I was on the highway on my way from the airport to the bayfront . Going over the elevated part of the highway that overlooks Navigation Blvd., I just happened to look down and to my right, and saw the Days Inn where it all happened. Even just passing it , it was a chilling and saddening experience. It was the only place associated with Selena that I didn't want to go to while I was there. Just knowing what took place there is heartbreaking enough without actually seeing it.

    I was at this same hotel just weeks after this young man shot this video.....at the time it was in the process of converting into a Knights Inn but still operated as a Days Inn...I too knew about room 150/158 and when I checked in, I told this beautiful Tejana at the Front Desk, “I know where her room is...can you please give me one upstairs near the lobby”..out of respect for “La Reyna”...Room 223...I also asked her where the Selena Museum was and with a big bright smile, she told me how to get there.....that evening, I stood out on the balcony and faced her room...it was soooo eerily quiet...all I could hear was the wind blowing through the trees...that place is most definitely a shrine to that legendary singer who left us far too soon...FOREVER SELENA

    Some people have said that they've heard faint singing, smelled the scent of roses, and experienced an overwhelming sense of sadness in the area near this room. I haven't been there myself, but it's hard to believe that they're ALL "just imagining it". I know Selena herself is in Heaven, but there are things that can't be explained. I've witnessed a few such things, and even photographed an "orb" in Gettgsburg, so I tend to believe others when they say they've seen things that some people might find hard to believe. And, they're very often seen/heard at the site of a tragic occurance such as this one, which caused so much sadness.

    My GOD - To think of what happened here - how significant, although sad , this place is in musical history. I didn't go here when I was in Corpus Christi, but I DID go to Q Productions, the family business where the studio where she recorded much of her music is located. I was given a tour of the studio by her brother-in-law, (Suzette's husband), both of whom work there, and I felt an energy in that room like you wouldn't believe. There's a thing that paranormal investigators refer to as " residual energy" - the life-energy left behind by a person who lived or was often at a certain location. I believe that's what it was. I've never felt anything like it, before or since.

    Heart-breaking. I just want to wrap my arms around Princess Selena and keep her safe. :( What's crazy is that she ran so far while she was bleeding...I mean, what a brave woman. As you're in the room, I can just so easily imagine Selena in there, standing in front of the door, arguing with Yolanda...Next time you go there, can you make a video of the trail that Selena ran? I mean, a video that goes from that room to the lobby, just so we can see how much she ran after being shot? This is a nice video by the way. Thank you.

      Selena panicked because who wants to be shot? It looks fucking terrifying. So what do you do when you panic? You flee. Selena ran. And when you run, blood pumps through your body. Selena was shot in the chest where the heart was so the blood just drained out. If she walked or fast walked, I'm sure she would have had a chance.

    IMHO it's merciful that Selena died from her injuries instead of surviving BECAUSE with that extensive blood loss before responders arrived she would have suffered brain damage and/or physical disabilities that would have ended her productive
    life and musical career. She stays 23 forever leaving us w/fond memories & video'd performances as a constant reminder that
    all our days should be treasured for we know not what tomorrow brings. God bless you Selena & thank you.

    To be honest, they should have just shut that building down, at least that particular room off and do something, other than just clean it up and have it back open for business. Now it will always be a tourist attraction. Also, this whole situation should have NEVER HAPPENED. They learned about this women's past. The should have just fired her when they met with her originally, then let the police deal with the rest if they so chose about her theft. Instead, they keep going back to meet with this woman, and in strange places LIKE A HOTEL ROOM IN THEIR HOMETOWN, to get "documents"? What documents could have been that damn important? I know Selena was a trusting soul but still, think girl! Just dumb dumb dumb. These "meetings" they continued to try to have with this batsh*t crazy women were simply stupid and should NOT have been taking place at all. At minimum if you REALLY felt you had to keep meeting with women for whatever reason, you go as a group. It should have been the police the only people meeting her though. I don't want to sound mean, but Selena was just not thinking, clearly walking right into her own death trap. "Hey, this lady who is stealing from me keeps calling me, saying some crazy stuff, and wants to meet, in odd places like this crappy hotel". "But wait, I SHOULD really try to retrieve that visa bill that she wrongly used on us, gotta have that! Uuugh, just stupid, and shouldn't have happened. Hindsight is 20/20, but what were they, and she thinking to keep meeting with this woman. Cost her her life.

    • @JohnnyangelNIU
      @JohnnyangelNIU 3 роки тому

      There are so many "what ifs" for that day. I think everybody would agree if there was a way to re-do that day, Selena (famous, almost famous, or even just as a regular woman- doesn't matter) would have NEVER gone there at all, or alone at the very least. At this point in the game, this was already a situation for the police - that's what they get paid to do. I know she trusted Yolanda, but again - not the point anymore. At this stage in the game, it was already well past the "let's give her one or two chances" scenario. Everybody knew (at the very least) Yolanda was up to no good financially (this wasn't a situation of $10 or even $100 missing) - police should have been going there at this stage - period. Even if Selena had gone there with Chris, or another person, or even an officer escort - the likelihood this happens is about '0'. Again, I would say this same advice to any regular person or my neighbor. This is also not me lessening the blame for Yolanda. Like others said, sometimes discussing "what ifs" helps the healing process.... and a few small adjustments on that morning, and this probably never happens. Yolanda would have been taken in, processed, fired - and that's about it.

And even though he couldn't save her, he's still a hero for trying to protect his little sister. Now about Selena's death on March 31 1995, now i know i wasn't even born yet and i'm not trying to make Chris Perez feel bad but he really should have been there to protect his wife!!!! He could have tackled Yolanda right as she was getting the gun from her bag!!!!! Then it could have slipped out of her hand. Then while Yolanda was distracted, Selena could have grabbed her missing documents and she and Chris would make a run for it.

    It's totally disrespectful and unethical to have this room still available for booking.

    Omg thank you for sharing this! Back then,I was only 11 years old and this hotel was ghostly to me.I love that they still have the box TV's! Yes it feels like in the 90's again! You can just imagine Selena and Yolanda inside that room and Selena running afterwards... Wow

      Alejandra De Olivera Selena NEVER ran outside of the room. I have no idea where you got that info from. She crawled out because she was already wounded. I was 12 when it happened. And my Latina classmates told me Yolanda shot her once and called her a bitch.

      Tornado1994 Sorry to say this, but you and your classmates were kind of misinformed... Selena *did* actually make it out of the room. In fact, she reached the hotel lobby, where a group of people rushed to her help upon seeing her bleeding and running towards the building. There was a whole detailed mini crime documentary about this.

    the negative vibrations stay permanent in that room. if you're very sensitive and spend the night there you will have problems sleeping and if you think about ghosts makes it even worse.

    If you do another video this year being 20 years now, it would be cool if you did a walk from the room to the lobby to see how far it really is. I've always wondered that and im sure a lot of other people have too.

    I'm confused, on many news reports it states the address of the days inn as 901 navigation blvd but when I look it up in Google it brings up a Knights inn hotel. Has it changed names? The only days inn I'm seeing in corpus are by the beach and the airport.

    • @Alo.702
      @Alo.702 9 років тому +1

      @Alyssa yes it's no longer called Days inn it changed to Knights inn because their is a new owner now, & I also heard they decided to change the name to throw people off so they wouldn't go try to visit the hotel and room, but it's still the same address and everything. :)

    • @superman-pu2ln
      @superman-pu2ln 9 років тому

      ***** The former Days Inn was getting a lot of bad reviews too so I'm sure when Knights Inn took over, a lot of changes had to be made. The room number change from 158 to 150 have thrown people off but they still manage to figure it out. I don't think the name change will be any different. If anything, it's easier to know which motel Selena was murdered at because the address remains the same as opposed to knowing which room it all took place. As for those who are just learning about Selena and where her death took place, like the younger generations, they might have to do some research. It managed to stay Days Inn over 19 years after her death.

    Wow. Amazing. Where Selena's life changed forever literally. She had no idea the horror that awaited her. I'm sorry but if someone was embezzling money from my company I don't care who they are friend or best friend I'm not going to meet with them alone, esp when other ppl been complaining about this person to me. I would at least taken someone with me. I would've never trusted that psycho. Of course no one knew that nut would go as far as she did. But I can't help wondering what would've happened if Chris had gone with Selena. Chris thinks that Yalonda would've shot Selena the night before had he not been with her. Personally I think she would've probably either shot them both or waited for an available opportunity. Either way she wanted Selena gone bc she knew the gig was up and Selena was going to sever ties with her for good. So pretty much she had no more use for Selena in that she couldn't use her anymore.

    • @saiyongdawn7756
      @saiyongdawn7756 6 років тому +1

      Sha Sha Yolanda will never admit the truth, only her version of truth. There are a few things we need to understand about SELENA as a person not as an entertainer. She was raised as a JW. In this belief you're taught to love, respect and trust in others and this is how she and her siblings were raised. They were trusting souls, sometimes from what I read, SELENA was too trusting. Also she was stubborn. When someone advised her not to do something, she did the total opposite. According to her husband Chris's book, SELENA pretended with Yolanda that everything was okay until she could get all the paperwork from Yolanda that was hidden. Obviously that didn't go as planned. Chris seem to believe that had he gone with SELENA on that fateful morn Yolanda would've gotten him too. I tend to agree.

    • @saiyongdawn7756
      @saiyongdawn7756 6 років тому +2

      Sha Sha; Yes, unfortunately as a child along with her siblings she was, I hate to use the term forced but I don't know what other word to use, SELENA and her siblings went into this business bc of their father. So this pretty much is all they knew. They started out singing for their supper bc the father had quit a good job to open up a restaurant that failed bc of the recession during the eighties. And since he himself used to be in the entertainment business he started having big dreams again only this time through his kids kind of like the 'Jackson's' and their father Joe Jackson. It seems to be that eventually a child always end up losing their life tragically. Like you say though we can't change what happens but I find myself wishing that SELENA had listened to her husband and family members when they warned her to steer clear of that woman or at least allowed her husband to tag along. I'm sure though that in the end SELENA found herself wishing the same only the damage was already done and she like us all will have to do one day had to go and meet her Maker. I pray she rip.💝

      If you remember Yolanda told Selena she had been raped in Mexico so Selena took her to a hospital where they found no signs of rape. That was the lie she made up so Selena would rush to her alone

    • @JohnnyangelNIU
      @JohnnyangelNIU 3 роки тому +1

      There are so many "what ifs" for that day. I think everybody would agree if there was a way to re-do that day, Selena (famous, almost famous, or even just as a regular woman- doesn't matter) would have NEVER gone there at all, or alone at the very least. At this point in the game, this was already a situation for the police - that's what they get paid to do. I know she trusted Yolanda, but again - not the point anymore. At this stage in the game, it was already well past the "let's give her one or two chances" scenario. Everybody knew (at the very least) Yolanda was up to no good financially (this wasn't a situation of $10 or even $100 missing) - police should have been going there at this stage - period. Even if Selena had gone there with Chris, or another person, or even an officer escort - the likelihood this happens is about '0'. Again, I would say this same advice to any regular person or my neighbor. This is also not me lessening the blame for Yolanda. Like others said, sometimes discussing "what ifs" helps the healing process.... and a few small adjustments on that morning, and this probably never happens. Yolanda would have been taken in, processed, fired - and that's about it.

    • @saiyongdawn7756
      @saiyongdawn7756 3 роки тому

      The signs may have been there but no one esp SELENA knew what this person was capable of. It was like a snake rearing it's ugly head and striking suddenly. SELENA trusted this person with her life. Literally. What 'ifs' never changes anything.

    so sad. but that room she didn't die there. She was never shot inside, but outside in the parking lot. The cleaning lady upstairs saw it go down in the parking. The autopsy shows how the bullet entered. The other witness a man caught her by the Lobby where she collapsed. The clerk was on the phone with 911. So original room 158. Was Yolanda Saldivar hotel room number. They argued in that room. But she wasn't shot in it but as she ran outside. May she rest in eternal peace

    The worst aspect of that place is the fact that she ran from the room towards the lobby after she got shot and the distance from that specific room to the lobby is pretty long walk let alone after being shot in the back.
