Yolanda Saldívar's Countdown: She Will Be Nearly 70 Years Old When Eligible for Parole
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Yolanda Saldívar has been incarcerated for nearly 31 years for the murder of Selena, almost the same amount of time she was free before the crime. She entered prison in 1995 and will be eligible for parole in 2030, when she will be close to 70 years old. Currently, there is no scheduled release date for Saldívar. In 2025, the Parole Board denied her release due to the violent nature of the crime and the vulnerability of the victim, concluding that she still poses a threat to public safety. Saldívar is serving a life sentence in a maximum-security prison in Gatesville, Texas, after being convicted on October 26, 1995. She has maintained that Selena's death was accidental.
