Yetunda was dating Rolland Wormley, whom she met five months ago at his birthday party.
Rolland revealed that they talked and danced the whole night and ended up going to his brother's after-party.
They spent the whole night together. Rolland took the relationship slow as he didn't want to hurt Yetunda's three children.
He said to her that he didn't want to hurt her and be in kids' lives and end up breaking up. He was with her when she was shot.
Rolland said that that night, they were supposed to go on a date, but he had forgotten about it, so Yetunda came to pick him up from his friend's place.
She asked him to drive her car as she was drunk, so he drove his car. Since, Rolland didn't have a valid driving license, he took the side streets.

He started driving as fast as possible. He pulled over the car and saw that the back window was shattered and didn't know where she got shot.
He rushed to his mother's house and called 911. Yetunda was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Robert Maxfield was the one who killed her, and he was sentenced to 15 years in jail for the murder.

Venus made her debut as a tennis player at a very young age. Her father also taught her some life lessons.
He taught them to be tough and rough. Venus won her first ever Wimbledon in 2000 and became the first ever black woman to win it.
Her father was more excited than her, and he jumped over the NBC broadcasting booth and did a victory dance.
