On March 31 , 1995 , Selena was shot and killed by Yolanda Saldívar , her friend and former manager of her boutiques . The resulting media attention helped increase sales of '' Ven Conmigo '' . It debuted at number 24 on the US '' Billboard '' Top Pop Catalog Albums chart . It was ineligible to chart on the '' Billboard '' 200 following a revision that excluded titles older than 18 months appearing on it . The following week , '' Ven Conmigo '' peaked at number 22 , while her '' 17 Super Éxitos '' ( 1993 ) compilation album spent its second week at number one . In 1995 , catalog titles made up nearly 50 % of the music consumed in the United States . '' Ven Conmigo '' and '' 17 Super Éxitos '' contributed to the $ 5 billion revenue reported that year by the music industry . The RIAA certified the album platinum for shipments of 200,000 units in the United States ; her fifth platinum record . In October 2017 , the RIAA updated the certification to triple platinum , denoting 180,000 album-equivalent units sold
