Contact Ctw By Jeremiah Marquez THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COMPTON, Calif. — A man was arrested in the shoot ing death of a sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, and authorities Monday searched for four other possible suspects in the slaying outside a house known to attract gang members. Aaron Michael Hammer, 24, was booked for investigation of murder late Sunday and jailed without bail. Sheriff’s deputies said he had ties to a gang but was not a member. Yetunde Price, 31, was shot in the chest early Sunday about a mile from the tennis courts where her younger sisters first rose to prominence in this gang- and violence-plagued city out side Los Angeles. The motive for the slaying remained under investigation. As many as four other possi ble suspects were being sought. Deputy Richard Pena said. Price was killed by a gunman standing in front of a house that was known to attract gang mem bers and where drugs have been sold in the past, authorities said. “At this point we just don’t know if this is gang or nar cotics,” said sheriff’s Lt. Daniel Rosenberg, a homicide detec tive. “I can tell you there are cer- / can tell you there are certain indications to suggest this location has involved either gangs or drugs. — Lt. Daniel Rosenberg homicide detective tain indications to suggest this location has involved either gangs or drugs. The house was troublesome to both the resi dents in the community and the deputies in Compton station.” Price, who no longer lived in Compton, was sitting with a man in a sport utility vehicle shortly after midnight when they got into a confrontation with several neighborhood residents, Pena said. Authorities said it was not known whether Price knew her assailant. The man with Price was uninjured and drove her to a rel ative’s house, where he called 911, authorities said. Price was then taken to a hospital, where she died. The man with Price, Rolland Wormley, 28, was jailed after authorities discovered he was on parole, which he allegedly vio lated by being at the scene of the shooting. Deputies did not dis close why he was on parole. An assault rifle was found at the scene, and neighbors report ed hearing six to 20 gunshots. Price, one of five sisters who spent their early years in Compton, was a registered nurse who owned a beauty salon. She also served as a personal assis tant to her famous half-sisters, who moved to Florida with their parents when they turned pro as teenagers. Price was divorced and had three children, ages 5, 9 and 11. She lived in Corona, 40 miles from Compton. Suspect arrested in Compton shooting A 24-year-old man was arrested early Monday in the investigation of the shooting that killed the older sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams in a Los Angeles suburb.

Singh collected $630,0(X) for his four- shot win at the rain-delayed John Deere Classic on Monday, moving ahead of Davis ove III on this year's tour earnings list. “My goal is to really be able to win the oney list just once before I finish. This will robably be the best opportunity I get,” said Singh, who now has collected $5.7 million and a career-high three wins this year. With three more PGA Tour events on his schedule this year, Singh likes his chances. “If I can win one more time, I think I’ve got it sealed,” said Singh, who also moved past Phil Mickelson for third place on the career money list with nearly $24 million in l years on the tour. Singh closed with a 6-under-par 65 for total of 16-under 268. He had six birdies iate needed for 3/2 housf ill Julie 764-4333. in a bogey-free final round that was held over a day after darkness suspended play Sunday night. Chris Riley (71), J.L. Lewis (71) and Jonathan Byrd (68) shared second at 12-under 272. Riley said Singh is tough to catch when he has the lead in the final round. “He’s in the Tiger Woods, Davis Love, Mike Weir, their class. I’m try ing to get there,” said Riley, who now has six top-10 finishes this year. Byrd said consistency is the key to Singh’s game, especially with his short irons. “He’s hitting it (within) 15, 20, 10 feet all day. You do that for enough holes, you’re going to make something,” Byrd said. Singh also is being mentioned as player of the year. “I can control the money list. 1 cannot control the player of the year,” he said. Singh started play Monday at 12 under, SINGH tied with Lewis, who posted his lone career win at the Deere Classic in 1999. The pair resumed their final round Monday on No. 6, and Singh began to pull away after he birdied No. 8 and Lewis fol lowed with a bogey on No. 9. Lewis, who used only 50 putts when he shot consecutive 6-under 65s in the first two rounds, struggled on the green over the weekend. “I didn’t feel nervous but I played like I was so I must have been,” said Lewis, who shot even par the last two rounds. Paul Stankowski, in his third PGA event since returning from wrist surgery, tied for fifth at 11 under with Hidemichi Tanaka and Kevin Sutherland. The Deere Classic drew its best field after being moved back from its usual tee off in July. However, the tournament was plagued by a Saturday downpour that postponed the third round and pushed play into Monday. It was the first PGA Tour event to extend into Monday since the FBR Capital Open in June. However, 22 of 39 tournaments this year have had some kind of weather delay. eded. 3bdrm2ba w/part , w/d, all utilities indudei o 979-574-1314 , Country Village MHC /in 979-218-2807 or 325- ion-smoking roommat* i, 904 Bougainvillea, lities.

At 11 a.m. EDT, Isabel was hentered about 780 miles loutheast of Cape Hatteras, and vas moving northwest at about !mph. The storm weakened slightly Monday but was still a powerful Category 4 with sustained wind blowing at 140 mph, with higher busts, the National Hurricane -enter said. On Sunday, Isabel’s [op wind had hit 160 mph. Isabel is the first major hurri- lane to threaten the mid-Atlantic ince Floyd wreaked havoc on the East Coast in September 1999, leading to 56 deaths. All 921 residents of Ocracoke Island in North Carolina’s vulnerable Outer Banks were ordered to begin evacuating Monday afternoon. A line quickly formed at the ferry dock. The evacuation was ordered because of fear that already ris ing swells could wash out parts of the island highway and maroon some residents. But the sky was still sunny and the weather generally was pleasant. In other islands on the outer banks, residents started boarding windows, moving their vessels inland and checking up on their generators. Kay Burros and Anne Troutman decided it was time to check their 5,000-watt home generator at Surf City. “We’ve had it about 3 years, but haven’t cranked it up in a while. It’s been so long, we have to read the instructions,” Burros said. Up the coast in Dover, Del., B.J. Whittaker snapped up 10 sheets of plywood at a Lowe’s home improvement store. “1 can’t do anything if the roof blows off, but I can keep my windows from getting broken,” he said. Emergency officials in cen tral and eastern Pennsylvania started planning for the growing likelihood that Isabel or its rem nants would bring high wind and heavy rain into the state by Friday morning. Pennsylvania already has had a wetter than normal summer, and hundreds of people were evacuated Monday in West Chester, Pa., west of Philadelphia, because of exten sive flooding caused by more than 8 inches of rain overnight. Farther north, Massachusetts was expected to miss the brunt of the storm. Battalion staffer True Brown contributed to this report.
