Yolanda Saldivar is denied parole for the killing of Selena Quintanilla-Perez

Yolanda Saldívar was recently denied Parole by The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles citing the "nature of the offense." Specifically, they pointed to the "brutality, violence, assaultive behavior or conscious selection of victim's vulnerability" as reasons for their decision. Saldivar, once the president of Selena's fan club and manager of her boutiques, was convicted of first-degree murder in 1995 for killing Selena after a confrontation. The crime was a shocking and tragic event that deeply impacted fans worldwide.

The board determined that Saldívar's actions indicated a "conscious disregard for the lives, safety, or property of others," and that she poses a "continuing threat to public safety." Her next parole review is set for 2030.

Upon learning of Saldivar's parole hearing date, there was a large outcry from the community that she should not be released.

For many, the denial of parole represents a sense of justice for Selena and her family. The crime's severity and the immense loss it caused continue to resonate for many across the country, primarily in Corpus Cristi, Texas where the Tejano star lived and was killed.
