Serena William friend is found death….

Boyfriend of Serena & Venus Williams’ sister weeps as he recalls night she was killed

Rolland Wormley never talks about the night his girlfriend, Yetunde Price, was murdered right beside him.

He never talks about how he desperately tried to save the older sister of tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, and was with her in her final moments following the drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.

He also never talks about the nightmare of being, as he claims, put in handcuffs and carted off to a cell, with police thinking he could be involved in Yetunde’s killing.

Memories of Yetunde, who was 31 and a mom of three when she was gunned down in September 2003, have haunted Wormley every day since her death. Now they are being refreshed by the new hit movie “King Richard,” about the Williams family — including Yetunde.

Wormley was driving Yetunde’s car when she was fatally shot in the passenger seat by a Crips gang member.Wormley, 46, is breaking his silence in an exclusive interview. “A lot of people haven’t heard my side of the story. This really messed me up,” he told The Post. “The truth is, the Williams family didn’t just sweep me under the rug, they flushed me down the toilet as well.” 

A representative for the Williams family did not comment.

For Wormley, Yetunde’s murder — which happened just yards from the Compton neighborhood courts where Venus and Serena first learned to play tennis — left him spiraling into a life of crime and struggling with mental health issues.

The two first met at a surprise party in Compton, hosted by mutual friends, to celebrate his 28th birthday on April 30, 2003.

“Tunde wasn’t dancing, so I left everyone on the dance floor and sat by her side. I didn’t know who she was — I didn’t know she was from the Williams family — but I just wanted to make sure everyone was happy,” Wormley recalled. “We started talking and she danced with me. She didn’t want to turn the birthday boy down!

“We were inseparable. We talked and danced the whole night, and we ended up going to my brother’s after-party. We spent the whole night together.”

The couple began dating and got serious fast. Yetunde, who was a registered nurse, beauty salon owner and part-time assistant to her famous sisters, soon asked Wormley to move into her home in Corona, Calif.
