(CNN) The former Dallas police officer sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of her neighbor will be housed in the same prison as the woman who killed Grammy Award winning singer Selena. Amber Guyger, 31, will be housed at the Mountain View facility in Texas, according to Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Robert Hurst. Hurst confirmed that Yolanda Saldivar, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 in the shooting death of singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez , is also housed at that facility. Grammy award-winning Tejano music superstar Selena, 23, was fatally shot and killed by Yolanda Saldivar. The singer rose to fame singing Tejano music in the early 90s and was only 15 when she won female entertainer of the year at the Tejano Music Awards.
