The story of Selena's meteoric rise to fame and tragic death at the age of 23 has been told many times in movies, miniseries and books. 

The Texas native and "Queen of Tejano Music" was gunned down by her fan club president in Corpus Christi on March 31, 1995. 

Seven months later, a Harris County jury convicted Yolanda Saldívar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison. She will be eligible for parole on March 30, 2025 after serving 30 years. 

The relationship between the star and her killer is the focus of an upcoming Oxygen series, "Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them." 

"After so many years, I think it's time to set the story straight," Saldívar says in a clip from the true crime docuseries. Oxygen interviewed her family members who claim they've uncovered documents that shed new light on the case.
