The woman found guilty of murdering Grammy Award-winning Selena Quintanilla has sought parole nearly thirty years after the crime.
Yolanda Saldívar, who managed the business affairs of the 23-year-old singer and also led her fan club, killed Quintanilla on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Saldívar was convicted in October 1995 and was sentenced to life imprisonment, with the possibility of parole after 30 years.
According to Texas Department of Criminal Justice online records, Saldívar has now submitted a parole application and will be eligible for parole consideration on March 30.
The parole review process in Texas begins six months prior to the eligibility date. Saldívar’s upcoming parole review is scheduled for March 30, just a day before the 30th anniversary of Selena's death.
Reports suggest that Saldívar has alleged that she is being targeted in prison, as noted by ABC 13.
During Saldívar's trial in 1995, Chris Pérez, Quintanilla's widower, testified that the singer had terminated Saldívar’s employment earlier that year upon discovering that she had allegedly been stealing money.
Subsequently, Saldívar obtained a gun license in San Antonio. On March 31, when Quintanilla met Saldívar at a hotel to retrieve some documents, Saldívar shot her in the back.
Throughout the trial, Saldívar maintained her innocence, with her defense arguing that the shooting was accidental and that Saldívar was actually attempting to take her own life.
