Selena met Saldivar at the Days Inn motel in Corpus Christi off I-37. She was fired after money went missing from the store. Customers had been complaining that they weren’t receiving items they bought from the clothing stores, and employees thought that Saldivar was stealing money. Saldivar had been the president of Selena’s fan club and managed her clothing stores in Texas called Selena Etc., but was fired just weeks before the shooting, The New York Times reported at the time. However, her request for a new trial was denied, Radar Online reported. She said that the evidence, which consisted of shoes worn by Selena when she was killed, would have somehow helped prove that she accidentally shot Selena. She claimed that prosecutor Carlos Valdez had evidence that would be favorable to her, but did not disclose it to the jury or to her attorney. In March 2019, Saldivar requested a new trial, Radar Online reported. Saldivar still claims the shooting was an accident, In Touch Weekly reported in 2018.
