Thirty years after shooting beloved singer Selena Quintanilla, Yolanda Saldívar has reportedly admitted her guilt in the singer's death as she prepares for her first parole hearing.

Saldívar's family says she believes Selena Quintanilla is partly at fault because she was "forceful" in confronting Saldívar about alleged embezzlement.

Yolanda Saldívar, 63, has her first opportunity to file for parole this year, 30 years into her life sentence in prison.

Saldívar, 64, officially filed for parole in January. She shot Selena during a confrontation in a Texas hotel room.
