\n\tThe notorious fan who worked her way into pop star Selena\u2019s inner circle and then gunned down the Tejano singer in 1995 just as her fame was rising and she was poised to become a global star, has now filed a petition for parole in Texas, according to filings in the Texas penal system. <\/p>\n

\n\tYolanda Sald\u00edvar, 64, was president of Selena\u2018s fan club and the manager of her line of boutiques, Selena, Inc., when she shot her to death on March 31, 1995, The murder took place in a Corpus Christi, Texas, Days Inn hotel room in a confrontation following the discovery by Selena Quintanilla-Perez\u2019s family that Sald\u00edvar was embezzling funds. Selena, who was seeking financial records that Sald\u00edvar was refusing to produce, fled the room when Sald\u00edvar trained a .38 Taurus Model 85 revolver on her and then shot her in the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSald\u00edvar has insisted the shooting was an accident, and she intended to turn the gun on herself that day. Instead, after collapsing in the hotel lobby, Selena later died at a local hospital after losing too much blood. She was 23 at the time of her death. Since then, Selena\u2019s fame grew, as did her legacy as the young \u201cQueen of Tejano Music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA jury did not buy Sald\u00edvar\u2019s defense and convicted her of murder on Oct. 23, 1995, Days after the verdict was determined, she was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 30 years. That date comes in under three months on March 25, and, according to Texas Department of Criminal Justice online records, Sald\u00edvar is \u201ccurrently in the Parole Review Process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Texas, the six-month parole process involves an interview with the inmate and submitting letters of support and protest. An Institutional Parole Officer compiles this and submits a case summary for the Board voting panel, who in the case of Sald\u00edvar, will decide on parole at the end of March, according to Texas DCJ. She is currently being held at the Patrick L. O\u2019Daniel Unit in Gatesville, Texas.<\/p>\n

\n\tCiting conversations with inmates at the O\u2019Daniel prison, the New York Post <\/em>reports<\/a> that Sald\u00edvar is a constant target among those detained there and that she receives death threats over her crime. Sald\u00edvar\u2019s sister told the tabloid that, after decades behind bars, it feels as if she is a \u201cpolitical prisoner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a prison interview for the Peacock documentary, Selena and Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them<\/em>, Sald\u00edvar claimed, she \u201cwas convicted by public opinion even before my trial started.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
