I found David’s Tik Tok and apparently he’s posting some stories he had when working with Selena y Los Dinos. For those who don’t know, David was the last bodyguard Selena had.

“There are so many cute and happy stories that I have of Selena and her family. Like this picture — we were in San Diego, California, playing at the Civic Center. They had underground parking. Selena was going to go on stage in about 10–15 minutes, and Selena and her mom were sitting in the luggage compartment of the bus, spending some mom-and-daughter time together. Selena’s mom thought the world of her kids, which you can see here.

Abraham came around the corner of the bus, saying “Selena! Selena!” — calling out her name in a grumpy way, but he meant it in a good way. That’s just how he was as a father. One thing I have to say about him: he never wanted Selena y Los Dinos to be one minute late on stage. Everything had to be perfect. That’s what I loved about the man.

So right when they heard his voice, they went deeper inside the luggage compartment, and they told me with their finger, “Shhh! Don’t say anything, don’t say anything!” Abraham came up to me and asked, “Have you seen Selena and Marcella?” I said, “No, sir. I’m just here straightening out the bus.” He walked away, still upset, still calling out their names — little did he know that Selena and her mom were only five feet away from him, hiding inside the luggage compartment.

When they were coming out of it, I told them, “Sit there and let me take a picture of you two.” And this is the picture that I took. Look how happy they look together.”
