Yolanda Saldívar, the woman convicted of murdering Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in 1995, has been denied parole and will remain incarcerated.
M Saldívar, now 64 years old, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years. This marks her first parole review since her conviction, and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles cited the violent nature of the crime as the reason for denial.

The tragic murder of Selena, who was only 23 at the time, remains a deeply emotional chapter for her fans and the Latin music community.
