Minutes after Selena Quintanilla Perez was shot at a Corpus Christi motel, police located Yolanda Saldivar inside a pickup truck in the parking lot. She still had the revolver and was threatening to take her own life.
For more than nine hours, crisis negotiators tried to persuade her to surrender. During those conversations, Yolanda repeatedly said she had never intended to kill Selena and described the shooting as an accident.
But crisis negotiation is not the same as interrogation. When Yolanda later gave investigators a formal statement, her description of the shooting contained details that prosecutors would use to challenge the accident claim.
