Yolanda Saldívar, convicted of killing Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla-Perez in 1995, has been denied parole by a Texas board, which cited her ongoing threat to public safety. The board's decision highlights that her crime exhibited a blatant disregard for life. Saldívar, a former fan club president and manager of Selena's boutiques, shot the singer while they were at a Corpus Christi motel, ultimately leading to Selena's untimely death at age 23. Her parole case can be re-evaluated in 2030.
"The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted to deny parole for Yolanda Saldívar, stating she continues to pose a threat to public safety due to the nature of her crime."
"Selena was only 23 when she was fatally shot in the back with a .38-caliber revolver by Saldívar, who had once managed the singer's fan club and boutiques."
