Tennis Stars` Sister Shot Dead
who: Venus and Serena Williams
what: "Inconsolable" after murder of their eldest sister
where: Los Angeles, California
when: Yesterday
snippet: Venus and Serena Williams were said to be "inconsolable" last night, reports The Sun, after hearing that their eldest sister, 31 year-old Yetunde Price, had been shot dead during a gun battle in "a gang-infested area of Los Angeles where the girls grew up".
At around midnight, Ms Price "was riding in a white sports utility vehicle with an unidentified man when they became embroiled in a row with local residents," explains the BBC. The man was uninjured and is helping police with their inquiries but Ms Price received "wounds to her upper torso".
She was taken to hospital "but pronounced dead at about 6am," says The Independent. "Police surrounded a house where three people believed to have been involved in the shooting were said to be barricaded but the house was later found to be empty. No arrests were made."
"Although the parents of the Williams family are separated, the five sisters are famously close," says The Guardian. "The elder women can often be seen supporting their tennis-playing siblings from the stands. Ms Price was a personnel assistant to her celebrity sisters."
