A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame honoring the slain Tejano singing star Selena will be unveiled in a rare night ceremony tonight.
Mayor Eric Garcetti and actress Eva Longoria are set to speak at the 6:30 p.m. ceremony in front of the Capital Records building on Vine Street.
Selena was shot and killed in 1995 by the president of her fan club.
Born Selena Quintanilla on April 16, 1971, in Lake Jackson, Texas, Selena was the youngest child in her family. She began her career in music in 1980 as the lead of the family band “Selena y Los Dinos,” with her siblings A.B. and Suzette.
Selena began recording professionally in 1982 and won the first of 10 consecutive female vocalists of the year awards at the Tejano Music Awards in 1986.
