Selena‘s killer has been denied parole.

Yolanda Saldívar, who was convicted of killing the iconic Tejano musician in 1995, will not be granted parole, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles announced Thursday. Saldívar entered the parole review process six months ago in anticipation of her parole eligibility date on March 30, the date marking 30 years after she murdered the singer.

Saldívar’s parole was denied because her “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,” according to a statement from the board. She will be eligible for another review in 2030.

Selena’s family addressed the news in a statement posted to social media. “Today, we are grateful that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has chosen to deny parole for Yolanda Saldívar,” the statement said. “While nothing can bring Selena back, this decision reaffirms that justice continues to stand for the beautiful life that was taken from us and from millions of fans around the world far too soon.”

The family added, “Selena’s legacy is one of love, music, and inspiration. She lived with joy, gave selflessly, and continues to uplift generations with her voice and her spirit. As her family and loved ones, we remain committed to preserving her memory and ensuring that her story is honored with the dignity and respect it deserves.”

The statement concluded, “We thank Selena’s fans for their unwavering support throughout the years. Your love has been a source of strength and healing. We will continue to celebrate Selena’s life — not the tragedy that took her from us — and we ask that all who cherish her do the same.”

Selena, whose full name was Selena Quintanilla-Perez, died March 31, 1995, after being critically wounded by a gunshot during a dispute with Salvídar in a motel in Corpus Christi, Tex. Salvídar had previously founded the singer’s fan club and worked for the musician’s Selena Etc. business, but was fired after being accused of embezzling funds.

A Houston jury convicted Saldívar of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon in October 1995, and she was sentenced to a life sentence with the possibility of parole in 30 years — the longest sentence permitted in Texas at the time.

While incarcerated in Texas, Saldívar has studied law, earning a paralegal and associate degree in criminal justice, according to the Associated Press. She has filed a number of civil rights complaints during her time in prison, noting that she was being held in protective custody because of her case’s notoriety.

Selena was among the most successful Mexican American musicians in pop history at the time of her death at 23. She recorded several albums with Los Dinos in the 1980s before making her solo debut in 1989, and released five solo albums in total. Her album Live! won the Grammy for Best Mexican/American Album in 1994, and she was posthumously honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.
