Selena Killer Denied Parole Again

Yolanda Saldívar, the former president of Selena's fan club and manager of her boutiques, has had her parole denied. The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole ruled on March 27 that Saldívar will not be released from prison, extending her time behind bars.

Saldívar was found guilty in 1995 of murdering the iconic Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla. The conviction stemmed from an incident on March 31, 1995, where Saldívar shot Selena during a confrontation over embezzled funds. Selena was fatally wounded and later pronounced dead.

Eligible for parole after serving 30 years, Saldívar's bid for release was ultimately denied. She is currently serving her life sentence at the Patrick O'Daniel Unit in Gatesville, Texas, with her next parole review scheduled for March 2030.
