Yolanda Saldivar, convicted of murdering Tejano star Selena Quintanilla in 1995, has applied for parole after serving 30 years. She claims to be threatened by inmates seeking "justice for Selena" and says there is a bounty on her head. Saldivar was found guilty of shooting Selena during a confrontation over embezzlement allegations. Her trial was moved to Houston due to extensive media coverage. She is currently serving her sentence at the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, Texas. Selena's family is expected to be informed about Saldivar's potential release later this month.
