Detectives investigating the murder of Michelle Sadio have issued an image of individuals they are keen to speak to.
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the investigation into Michelle’s murder and have today released an image (above) of people they believe may have information about the occupants of a car linked to the shooting.
The car, a black Kia Niro with distinctive alloys, with the number plate LA23 XRE was being driven by the suspects who then fired a number of shots in Gifford Road, NW10 on Saturday, 14 December.
Michelle was one of three people injured and she sadly died at the scene.
Following the shooting, the car was driven from Gifford Road to Barnhill Road where it was then abandoned and set alight.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who is leading the investigation, said:
Our investigation has progressed at pace but we are still keen to hear from anyone who can help piece together the series of events which led to Michelle’s murder.
We have an image of a number of people who were seen speaking to the occupants of a black Kia Niro of interest on Church Road, NW10 at 20:50hrs on Saturday, 14 December.
Are you one of the people pictured in the white Mercedes or on the pavement nearby, or do you recognise anyone? Did you hear or see something either before or after the shooting that may help with the investigation?
I would like to stress that none of those pictured have done anything wrong. They may not live in the area but they could hold information that is important to the investigation and I urge them to contact us.
At approximately 21:15hrs on Saturday, police were called to reports of the shooting, which happened as Michelle and others were standing outside the church following a wake. Officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics attended the scene.
Michelle, aged 44, was found suffering serious injuries – despite the efforts of the emergency services she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Michelle’s family have been informed and continue to be supported by specialist officers. They have requested that media respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Two men, both aged in their 30s, also suffered injuries. One remains in hospital in a critical condition; the other man’s injuries are not life threatening.
There have been no arrests at this stage and enquiries into the circumstances continue.
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or message @MetCC on X giving the reference CAD 7137/14DEC.
