The board votes against her release, with her next parole eligibility scheduled for 2030. Saldívar, a former nurse who once trusted Selena's confidant, was convicted of first-degree murder in October 1995. She was the chairman of Selena's fan club and singer boutique until she was fired. Just a few weeks later, on March 31, 1995, Selena was shot dead by a .38-caliber revolver at an Inn Inn Motel in Corpus Christi, Texas. The 23-year-old star was able to name Saldívar as the shooter and then died in the hospital before the hall collapsed. The jury did not buy it, and she was sentenced to life imprisonment and was released on parole 30 years later. Due to her imprisonment, Saldívar has a lower public profile, although court records show she received a certificate of paralegal and associate degree in criminal justice. She also filed numerous complaints of alleged abuse, and she has been in protective custody due to the high-profile nature of the case. Selena is widely known as Queen Tejano and was on the brink of superstars in the English-speaking market at the time of her death. Her post-death album Dreams ranked number one on the billboard rankings and cemented her legacy. She won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and her story is immortalized in the 1997 biopic Selena starring Jennifer Lopez.
