Yolanda had been put in charge of Selena's money. Yolanda used alot of Selena's money for her own personal items when she was supposed to be colleting and saving the money. Once Selena's father realized there were millions of dollars missing, Selena confronted Yolanda and told her that they could no longer be friends and that Yolanda was fired and would have to repay all of the money she stole. Yolanda didn't have the money so thought that the only solution would be to shoot Selena. She shot her 3 times before she actually killing her.

Soon, police came and arrested her and till this day, she is still in jail.
