Yolanda Saldivar, convicted of murdering Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez in 1995, has been denied parole by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. The board determined that Saldivar remains a threat to public safety due to the violent nature of her crime. Selena, a rising music star and cultural icon, was shot at a motel in Corpus Christi at just 23 years old. Saldivar's case can be reviewed for parole again in 2030, as she continues to serve her life sentence in Texas.
"The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles decided that Yolanda Saldivar continues to pose a threat to public safety, hence her parole request was denied."
"Selena, known to her fans simply as Selena, was one of the first Mexican-Americans to break into the mainstream music industry and was on the verge of major success."
