Yolanda Saldívar, Woman Found Guilty Of Killing Selena Quintanilla, Denied Parole
Yolanda Saldívar, the woman sentenced to life in prison for killing Selena Quintanilla, will continue to pay for her crime after being denied parole.
The Texas Board explained that the reason they denied the parole was due to the Nature of the Offense, adding, “The record indicates that the instant offense has elements of brutality, violence, assaultive behavior or conscious selection of victim’s vulnerability indicating a conscious disregard for the lives, safety, or property of others, such that the offender poses a continuing threat to public safety.” Saldívar was the founder and president of Quintanilla’s fan club, and on March 31, 1995, she was confronted by the singer following allegations of embezzlement. Saldívar gave an interview for the Oxygen True Crime docuseries Selena and Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them in 2024 where she said, “I was convicted by public opinion even before my trial started.”
