At the end of this month, the 64-year-old convicted killer will have served 30 years for the murder of the "Dreaming of You" songstress, making her eligible for parole for the first time.
But on Thursday, March 27, she was denied parole, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles said in a statement.
"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," the board said in part.
What was Yolanda Saldívar convicted of?
In 1995, Saldívar was convicted of Murder with a Deadly Weapon and sentenced to life in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division after she shot and killed the singer-songwriter on March 31, 1995.
But employees soon began complaining about Saldívar's apparently "bizarre" and "obsessive" behavior, and shortly before Selena's death, her father Abraham Quintanilla Jr. said he heard from fans who claimed to have paid into the singer's fan club but never got anything in return. The Quintanilla family estimated Saldívar had embezzled over $30,000 and fired her for such.
What did Selena's family say about Yolanda Saldívar's 2025 parole denial?
Hours after the news broke, the late Grammy winner's family–including her husband, Chris Pérez–broke their silence, sharing an emotional statement on Instagram, writing, "Today, we are grateful that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has chosen to deny parole for Yolanda Saldívar. While nothing can bring Selena back, this decision reaffirms that justice continues to stand for the beautiful life that was taken from us and from millions of fans around the world far too soon."
"We will continue to celebrate Selena’s life - not the tragedy that took her from us — and we ask that all who cherish her do the same," the statement concluded.
