Weapon That Killed Selena Is Destroyed
From Times Wire Reports
The weapon used to kill Tejano singing star Selena was destroyed under a judge’s order, despite protests from historians who said it was a priceless piece of Mexican-American history.
The .38-caliber Taurus revolver was sawed in pieces and thrown into Corpus Christi Bay.
Selena, 23, was killed seven years ago, just as she was on the verge of crossing over to the English-language market. Yolanda Saldivar was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence.
