The woman who killed Tejano music icon Selena in 1995 has been denied parole
The woman convicted of killing Tejano music legend Selena Quintanilla-Perez has been denied parole after spending decades behind bars for fatally shooting the young singer at a Texas motel in 1995.
The singer known to her fans as simply Selena was one of the first Mexican-Americans to make it into the mainstream music scene and was on the verge of crossing over into the English-language pop market when she was killed. In court documents filed in 2016, Saldívar said she was being held in protective custody — meaning she was segregated from other inmates — because prison officials were concerned for her safety due to the "high profile" nature of her case. She was able to run to the motel lobby where she collapsed, and she was pronounced dead at a hospital an hour later.Motel employees testified that Selena named "Yolanda" in "room 158" as her attacker.
