Latest News about Selena Quintanilla
The Selena estate, represented by Suzette Quintanilla and Q Productions, filed a lawsuit against Shein in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. It alleges unauthorized Selena merchandise was sold on Shein's marketplace, and in September 2026 Shein moved to dismiss the case, arguing third-party sellers were responsible.
The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles opened the pop-up exhibition 'Selena: From Texas to the World', curated with Suzette Quintanilla, featuring never-before-seen personal artifacts from Corpus Christi. The exhibit ran through mid-March 2026 and included her final-performance microphone, her 1994 Grammy gown and her Grammy and Lifetime Achievement awards.
Abraham Quintanilla Jr., Selena's father and a longtime musician and manager of her career, died on 13 December 2025. His family held a private celebration of life service in Texas in the weeks that followed.
Yolanda Saldívar, who was convicted of murdering Selena Quintanilla in 1995, was denied parole in March 2025 after becoming eligible for release. The denial means she remains in prison serving a life sentence for the killing that occurred at a Texas motel in Corpus Christi.
