About Yolanda Saldívar in brief
Yolanda Saldívar was convicted of the murder of Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez on March 31, 1995 in Corpus Christi, Texas. She will be eligible for parole on March 30, 2025. In March 1991, she received her license as a registered nurse from the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners. After attending one of her concerts, she began repeatedly calling Selena’s father about starting a fan club in San Antonio. By 1993 the fan club had reached 1,500 members in less than four years, and eventually grew to over 5,000.
Selena tried to flee, but Saldivar shot her once in the back, severing an artery. The gun used to kill Selena disappeared after the trial. It was later found in a box of court supplies at the home of court reporter Sandra Oballe, who said she did not realize the revolver had been used to murder Selena. Saldísvar is serving a life sentence at the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, Texas, to be released in 2025.
