She was convicted of murdering Selena in 1995.
Saldívar will remain in prison until her next review in March 2030.

Yolanda Saldívar, who was convicted of murdering the iconic Tejano singer Selena, has been denied parole. The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole announced on March 27, 2025, that Saldívar will remain incarcerated, ending her bid for release after serving 30 years of her life sentence.

Saldívar was found guilty of killing Selena on March 31, 1995, just weeks before the singer's 24th birthday. The conviction followed a trial that began on October 9, 1995, where Saldívar, the former president of Selena's fan club and manager of her boutiques, was found responsible for the fatal shooting.

Originally sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after three decades, Saldívar became eligible for release on March 30, 2025. However, her parole was denied, and her next review is now set for March 2030. Selena's family has expressed gratitude for the decision, stating it upholds the singer's legacy.

Saldívar has consistently maintained her innocence, claiming the shooting was an accident. She is currently serving her sentence at the Patrick O'Daniel Unit in Gatesville, Texas.
