Yolanda Saldívar, convicted of murdering Tejano singer Selena, is seeking parole in 2025. While her legal team pushes for release, sources reveal Saldívar faces danger in prison.
Yolanda Saldívar , serving a life sentence for the 1995 murder of Tejano star Selena , is seeking freedom. A hearing is scheduled for March 2025.

Saldívar, who shot and killed the 23-year-old 'Queen of Tejano' on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi, was convicted of murder after a jury rejected her claim that the killing was accidental. Selena had been planning to fire Saldívar, a former confidante and the head of her fan club, after uncovering that she had embezzled over $60,000 from the singer.

She then claimed that she waved her gun in the direction of the door and accidentally shot Selena
