COMPTON, Calif. - An older sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams ( news - web sites) was shot to death Sunday, and sheriff's deputies surrounded a house where three suspects were barricaded, authorities said.
Yetunde Price, 31, of Corona, was gunned down shortly after midnight in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton following a confrontation with some residents, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Butler said.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
At about 6 a.m., about 40 deputies surrounded a home where three people believed involved in the confrontation were barricaded, Deputy Richard Pena said. No arrests were immediately made.
Price was one of five Williams sisters who spent their early years in Compton. The family later moved to Florida.
Price was identified as a registered nurse and a business management major in Venus Williams ( news - web sites )' personal information listed in the 2003 media guide for the WTA Tour.

I lived not too far from Compton, used to go door to door there. Only during the week and always in the mornings. Sorry to hear this. I love tennis and always plan a light work week for the majors. Been to the open at Rod Laver. Well the parties over for the girls. Welcome to the real world. I can't even guess how this will change them! Maverick

How sad for the family. You can see why people do not get involved in an argument. My thoughts are with their family.
