Williams' sister dies in shooting by ROBIN YAPP and ANNETTE WITHERIDGE, Daily Mail 15th September 2003
Venus and Serena Williams are in mourning today after their eldest sister was murdered. Yetunde Price, 31, a personal assistant to her superstar sisters, was shot dead after a confrontation with youths in the crime-ridden Los Angeles suburb of Compton, where the Williams family grew up. A 24-year-old man has been arrested by police and jailed without bail. Yetunde Price was with her boyfriend in a white four-wheel drive vehicle when the argument broke out in the early hours of yesterday. A neighbour said he heard about a dozen gunshots. Miss Price was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later from wounds to the upper body. Her boyfriend was uninjured. Police later surrounded a bungalow where three suspects, armed with an AK47 assault rifle, were thought to have barricaded themselves in. More than 40 officers circled the property and heavily-armed SWAT teams and hostage negotiators were called in. They stormed the house just after midday - some 12 hours after the shooting - but it was empty. The suspects are now believed to have fled immediately after the shooting. Miss Price, a divorced mother-of-three who retained her married name, was seen by British TV audiences at Wimbledon this year when she joined the family entourage to see Venus and Serena reach the Ladies' final. .
During the tournament she shared a house in the south London suburb with sisters Isha, a 29-year-old lawyer, Lyndrea, a 25-year-old actress and singer, and their mother Oracene. Venus and Serena's agent, Carlos Fleming, said the family was heading for Los Angeles. Serena has been in Toronto to film an appearance in a cable TV drama series. Family lawyer Keven Davis said: "They are all devastated. It's a fluid situation and a lot of reports out there may be inaccurate. We are asking people to respect the family's privacy and are trying to get as much information as we can. "I just talked to Yetunde Friday. She was great. She was upbeat, in a great mood." Serena's publicist Raymone Baine said: "This is extremely devastating news. They are a very close-knit family." Venus and Serena's rise to stardom from humble beginnings is one of sport's most remarkable stories.
Under the watchful eye of their father Richard they have come to dominate women's tennis and today they are said to be worth £200million. While she often accompanied her sisters around the world, styling their hair for celebrity appearances, Miss Price led a far more modest existence. She lived in a £50,000 bungalow in Corona, a suburb close to Compton, and owned her own hair salon, proudly displaying pictures of Venus and Serena on the walls. Despite her lack of wealth, she insisted on paying her own air fare whenever she flew to see Venus and Serena. All five sisters and their mother are 『Jehovah's witnesses』 and Miss Price always said she had a better life than her famous siblings and that she felt no envy. As well as a motive for the shooting, investigators were trying to determine why Miss Price and her companion were in the area. "Right now there are more questions than answers," said a police spokesman. Los Angeles sheriff Scott Butler said police on patrol near the shooting had raced to the scene after hearing several shots. "Yetunde and a male companion, who we believe was her boyfriend, had been in a white SUV when they became involved in a confrontation with some local residents . "The confrontation led to gunfire. She was shot in the upper torso and was found by deputies in the street. She was later pronounced dead at a local hospital." He confirmed that homicide investigators were in vestigating. "They are at the scene, talking to witnesses, trying to determine exactly what happened," he said. Richard and Oracene Williams went through a messy and bitter divorce last year and Wimbledon was one of the few occasions since that the whole family has been seen together. Venus and Serena both missed the recent US Open championship through injury
http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/williamsdivorce.htm The tennis sisters were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses by their mother. They were also home-schooled by her. The father is as far as I know not a Witness and is only interested in their tennis careers.
