But I would never take

anything from Selena.

Never.

I love Selena.

I don't remember these checks.

What about the missing records?

I don't know where they are.

But I'll find them.

I will. And I'll show you.

We need an accounting

of all the money.

How could you do this to me?

I never took anything from you.

I trusted you with everything I have.

Never.

How could you do this to my fans?

You know what they mean to me.

Please. Give me a chance

to prove it to you.

Please.

Scratch my head.

Please?

You know, after we're finished touring

for the crossover album...

...Chris and I were thinking

of having a baby.

A baby?

Come here, baby.

A baby.

I'll be a grandma?

Not tomorrow.

Come here.

I've been thinking about

the crossover tour a lot.

I've even had dreams about it.

It's just this whole

different world for us.

We've been working for this

ever since we were kids.

I guess I'm a little scared.

Are they going to love me?

Yes, mija.

They're going to love you.

Now go to sleep.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking up at the moon.

And I'm dreaming.

I've even had dreams about it.

"Late at night when

all the world is sleeping

"I stay up and think of you

"And I wish on a star

"That somewhere you are

"Thinking of me, too

"'Cause I'm dreaming

"Of you tonight

"Till tomorrow

"I'll be holding you tight

"And there's nowhere in the world

"I'd rather be

"Than here in my room,

dreaming about

"You and me"

How is she?

No vital or radial pulse.

Tejano superstar, Selena,

has been shot...

...allegedly by Yolanda Saldivar,

her fan-club president.

Selena was meeting Saldivar to recover

missing fan club financial records.

Selena was brutally gunned down

in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The main suspect in the shooting

is Yolanda Saldivar.

As reported earlier, Ms. Saldivar

is barricaded in her truck...

...and threatens to kill herself

with the same gun.

I can't put the gun down.

Why? Tell me why.

I'm ashamed of what I've done.

Selena was meeting Saldivar to recover

financial papers when she shot her.

I don't deserve to live.

Saldivar was meeting Selena

to hand over financial papers.

Look at what I've done

to my best friend.

I want to talk to my mother.

Selena, who grew up in Corpus Christi,

was just 23 years old.

It's a tremendous loss

for the music world.

In Texas cities tonight,

candlelight vigils are being planned...

...to mourn the loss

of the popular singer.

"Late at night when

all the world is sleeping

"I stay up and think of you"
