Yolanda Saldívar, a woman convicted of killing the music legend Tejano Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in 1995, was rejected and remained in prison, the Council for Pardon and Paroles said on Thursday. Saldvar, now 64, served a life sentence for the death of a young singer at Corpus Christi motel.
Pole refused: “Justice still stands”
This was Saldívar’s first opportunity to release since her belief almost three decades ago. However, the Council has determined that it is still a risk of public security.
“The panel found that the balance of the Salděvar continues to be a threat to public security,” the Board of Directors said in its statement, adding that its crime has shown “conscious ignoring the lives, security or property of others.”
Selen’s family and her widower, Chris Pérez, welcomed the decision and said, “Although nothing can bring Selena back, this decision reaffirms that justice is still worth a beautiful life that from us and millions of fans around the world too soon.”
Saldivar will be entitled to further review in 2030.
Tragic end for a rising star
Selena, a Mexican American icon of music, was only 23 years old and on the verge of mainstream success in English when she was killed. As a native of Corpus Christi, she has already broken barriers for women in Latin music and won Grammy during the Tejano Music Boom in the early 90s.
Her crossover album, Dreaming of You, released posthumously, surpassed Billboard 200 and presented hits as if I could fall in love and dream of you.
How did Selena die?
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a beloved music superstar Tejano, was tragically shot and killed 31 March 1995 at the age of 23. Her death shocked the music industry and destroyed millions of fans around the world.
The incident occurred at the Inn daily motel at Corpus Christi in Texas, where Selena arranged a meeting with Yoland Saldívar, president of her fan club and manager of her boutiques, Selena, etc.
Saldivar was recently released after Selena’s family found that she had embezzled money from the fan club and business. Selena agreed to meet her in the morning and hopes to get financial documents. However, the conversation turned into confrontation, which led to a fatal result.
During the argument of the Saldivar, he pulled the 0.38 caliber revolver and once shot Selena into the lower right shoulder. The bullet interrupted the artery and caused a massive blood loss. Despite her injury, Selena ran towards the motel hall and left behind a trail of blood as she tried to get help.
At a nine -hour distance with the police claimed that the shooting was an accident. “I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to kill anyone,” she sobbed.
Beliefs and life in prison
Due to intensive media coverage, Saldívar’s court was moved to Houston. She testified that she intended to kill herself during confrontation with Selena, but the weapon was wrong.
October 23, 1995, the jury found that he was winding from the murder of first grade and after 30 years sentenced her to life in prison with the possibility of conditional release.
During the prison, the Saldivar won the title in the field of criminal judiciary and filed several complaints about civil rights concerning poor treatment. She was also held in protective custody due to the threats of other prisoners.
Selen’s inheritance lives on
The influence of Selena remains a strong decade after her death. In 1997 Jennifer Lopez portrayed her in Biopic Selena. In 2021 she received the posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Her music, including hits such as Bidi Bom Bom, Como La Flor and Amor Prohibido, continues to inspire artists and fans around the world and ensures that her legacy persists despite the tragedy of her premature death.
