Authorities have arrested a second Compton gang member they suspect might be tied to the shooting of the half-sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.
Michael Williams, 38, a reputed member of the Southside Crips, has not been charged in connection with the killing of Yetunde Price, 31. He is being held on suspicion of violating his parole from previous convictions for robbery and drug offenses.
Investigators are interested in Williams because his car was found parked in front of a reputed Compton drug house where Price and a male companion are believed to have argued with gang members moments before Price was fatally shot Sept. 14.
Williams was arrested Sept. 26 after police allegedly found crack cocaine and firearms in his 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan. Sources say Williams lived at the house before the shooting. Investigators also found a green 1978 Cadillac sedan registered to Williams' wife parked in the driveway of the house.
