News of the death of Yolanda Saldivar went viral today, but it turns out that it's just a hoax. As many know, Saldivar is spending time in jail after killing the beloved Selena Quintanilla. A fake news site with nothing to report wrote the following: "After spending nearly 20 years in prison for the murder of beloved Tejano superstar, Selena Quintanilla Perez, Yolanda Saldivar was found dead in her cell by deputies during a routine walk through of the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, Texas. Attempts to resuscitate Saldivar proved futile as she appeared to have been dead for several hours before discovery." Many fans of the late "Amor Prohibido" singer took to Twitter to celebrate Yolanda's demise. The San Antonio Current has reported and confirmed that Saldivar is very much alive and everything was a false alarm.
The publication of this article was probably due to the fact that earlier this year, the rumor that Yolanda was being released from prison, also caused a stir. . The National Report, a fake news site that labels itself as “America’s #1 Independent News Source,” reported the news first, saying Saldívar, who is serving a life sentence in Gatesville, Texas for the 1995 murder of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, was granted an early release for 2015 due to ailing health. It was reported that Saldívar was in the beginning stages of kidney failure, a serious condition that would’ve warranted the parole board to grant her immediate release. All this information was completely fake with Saldivar not eligible for parole until March 2025.
