Yolanda Saldívar is found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of popular Latin singer Selena. Saldívar was sentenced to life in prison, eligible for parole in 2025.

Yolanda Saldívar (Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝoˈlanda salˈdiβaɾ]; born September 19, 1960) is an American former nurse convicted of the murder of singer Selena Quintanilla Pérez on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Saldívar had been the president of Selena's fan club and the manager of her boutiques, but she lost both positions a short time before the murder, when Selena's family discovered that she was embezzling money from both organizations.

Three days after the jury returned a guilty verdict on the first-degree murder charge, they sentenced Saldívar to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole. She will be eligible for parole on March 30, 2025.
