As a result fans have been inspired over through the years to dig their heels even harder working to ensure that her achievements will not be forgotten. Selena was the Tejano performer who tragically killed by a gunshot accident caused a Latino reaction that could be thought of as similar to the reactions to Elvis Presley's and John Lennon's death.
