Selena Quintanilla’s Killer Yolanda Saldívar Files for Parole Nearly 30 Years After Singer’s Death

Chris, for his part, has previously opened up on the trauma caused by his late wife’s death. 

“It was the hardest thing up until that point that I had ever had to go through,” Chris previously explained in E!’s True Hollywood Story Death of Innocence documentary. “I miss her face, her laughter. She was just an amazing soul, an amazing spirit. I heard fans that were like, ‘How could we let that happen?’ Come on now. You think that I would let anything happen to her? Like seriously? None of us thought that that was even a possibility.”

He noted that Yolanda’s killing of Selena was a shock for everyone close to her due to Selena and Yolanda’s former bond. 

“On the road we had security, so I never really feared for her safety,” he continued. “You know, especially the way it happened to her, the fact that one of her friends did that, it’s just unbelievable.”
