Yolanda Saldívar was denied parole, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles confirmed in a statement posted to its webpage.
The woman serving a life sentence for killing singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez was denied parole, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles said in a statement Thursday.
Yolanda Saldívar was the president of Selena’s fan club and shot and killed the American singer-songwriter on March 31, 1995.
The board gave the following reasoning to deny Saldívar’s request: «The record indicates that the instant offense has elements of brutality, violence, assaultive behavior or conscious selection of victim’s vulnerability indicating a conscious disregard for the lives, safety, or property of others, such that the offender poses a continuing threat to public safety.
