LOS ANGELES, 15 September 2003 — An older sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams was shot early yesterday morning in Los Angeles, Fox news reported.
Police in Compton, a low-income neighborhood outside Los Angeles where the African-American athletic stars grew up, surrounded a house where three suspects armed with machine guns had barricaded themselves.
But when a 40-officer commando stormed the house, it was empty, Fox News said. The shooting, which occurred after an altercation about 1 a.m., killed Yetunde Price, 31, the oldest of the five Williams sisters. She was a nurse by training who operated a hair salon in the crime- ridden Compton neighborhood.
