Yolanda Saldivar, the female founded guilty of killing late vocalist Selena Quintanilla-Perez, has actually put in a quote to be launched from jail on parole in 2025.
Saldivar, 64, was founded guilty in the 1995 shooting death of the Tejano super star, who was simply 23 at the time of her death. The New York Post reports that Saldivar's tidy jail record within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice permits her to be thought about for release after 30 years. Quintanilla-Perez's household is anticipated to be informed of her possible release in January.
After serving 3 years behind bars at the Patrick L. O'Daniel Unit in Gatesville, TX, Saldivar is supposedly still viewed as a target by fellow prisoners who look for “justice for Selena.” Previous prisoner Marisol Lopez, who served along with her from 2017 to 2022, informed The Post, “Everyone understands who Yolanda Saldívar is. There's a bounty on her head, like everybody desires a piece of her. The guards keep her far from everybody else, since she's disliked a lot. If she were out [in general population]somebody would attempt to take her down.”
“Everyone was constantly like, ‘Let me have 5 minutes with that bi ** h,'” included Yesenia Dominguez, another previous prisoner. “Everyone wished to get justice for Selena. There's a target on her back.”

After being fired as Selena's Fan Club President for embezzling over $30K in fan club costs, the “Dreaming Of You” vocalist consulted with Saldivar at a motel independently to recover crucial tax files. She was eliminated the very same day.
Saldivar pulled away to her pick-up truck after the murder and continued to have a 9.5-hour stand-off with authorities. She later on argued that the shooting was a mishap, which she implied to eliminate herself. Saldivar, a previous nurse, made no efforts to conserve Selena's life and did not call 911.
Saldivar was condemned of first-degree murder by a jury in Oct. 1995 and was sentenced to life in jail with choice for parole in March 2025.
