HOUSTON — Fans in the Houston area are getting ready to celebrate what would've been Selena Quintanilla-Pérez's 53rd birthday.
Selena was born in Lake Jackson, south of Houston, on April 16, 1971.
The "Queen of Tejano Music" died after being gunned down by her fan club president in Corpus Christi on March 31, 1995, at the age of 23.
Now decades later, fans from all over the state continue to honor the Texas native's legacy.
