Selena's Killer Denied Parole

Yolanda Saldívar, the former friend who killed singer Selena, was denied parole by a Texas board on Thursday, March 27. The parole board cited the violent nature of Saldívar's crime and stated that she still poses a "continuing threat" to the community.

In the 1990s, Saldívar was a fan who became a close friend of Selena, eventually taking on a role as the president of the singer's San Antonio fan club. Saldívar was later promoted to manager of Selena's clothing boutique. However, she was fired in 1995 after Selena's father discovered that Saldívar had been embezzling money from both the fan club and the boutiques. A few weeks later, Selena met with Saldívar at a motel to retrieve financial documents. It was during this meeting that Saldívar pulled out a gun and fatally shot Selena in the back as she attempted to flee.

Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla, responded to the news of the parole denial on Instagram, writing, "I just received the news that the person who took my beautiful sister Selena’s life will not be released… I believe she should spend the rest of her life in prison… As for her family, who wish to remain anonymous and are spreading false stories in the news, you’ve only proven to the world you are a family of cowards… Thank you to all who have shown love and support and agree that trash belongs in the trash can!!! Don’t mess with Texas!!!"

Saldívar will be eligible for parole again in 2030.
