The section "Failed attempts to kill Selena" specifies that hollow-point bullets were specifically chosen over "normal" bullets to inflict more damage. I don't know how the Texan legislation settles this, but in EU full-metal jacket bullets (the alternative type of bullets) are restricted to military use and their sale is forbidden to civilians. That is, the "normal" type of bullet is really the hollow one. Medende (talk) 04:12, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Two deaths in California were reported following the outbreak of Selena's death. A drag queen planned to dress up as Selena for one of his upcoming performances, he was hit by a car and was left to die. Gloria de la Cruz auditioned for the role of Selena, she was later found dumped in a Los Angeles dumpster. Her killer had strangled her and set her body on fire.
It's not clear to me whether these people's deaths were in fact connected to their interest in Selena, or whether they simply happen to be people who were interested in Selena but died violent deaths for unrelated reasons. In the case of Gloria de la Cruz, her death seems to be completely unrelated to her audition for the role of Selena, and it also took place more than a year after Selena's death. I don't know if these people's deaths even should be mentioned in this article. --Metropolitan90(talk)00:12, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They were connected for having interest in Selena. Gloria auditioned for the title role; the movie was released in 1997 not 1995. The news article you provided seems to picture a different scene from what the author of the book says: she was killed the day after her audition for the title role in 1996, but the book and the news article agree on the matter of her death. The book does not specify the outcome of their respective deaths or gives any glimpse into their lives before and after Selena's own death, but only says that they died following the killing of Selena.

Where are the citations to show that her death received the same attention as the deaths of Kurt Cobain, JFK, and John Lennon? This seems very hard to believe. 166.137.115.22 (talk) 16:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
