Police seek public assistance in fatal triple shooting inquiry

Detectives conducting an investigation into a triple shooting in north-west London, which resulted in a woman’s death, have released an image of individuals who may possess “important” information. A black Kia Niro, featuring distinctive alloys and the number plate LA23 XRE, was driven by the suspects who subsequently discharged multiple shots in Gifford Road, Harlesden, on 14 December, as stated by the Met Police. Michelle Sadio, 44, died at the scene, and two men, both in their 30s, sustained injuries. Police have disseminated an image showing several people who were observed speaking to the occupants of the black Kia Niro on Church Road, Harlesden, at 20:50 GMT, just before the shooting. The shots were fired approximately 25 minutes later, less than half a mile (800m) away, on Gifford Road. Det Ch Insp Phil Clarke, who is leading the investigation, stated: “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?” He added: “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.” Ms Sadio was standing outside the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church on Gifford Road following a wake when the shots were fired. Following the shooting, the car was driven more than two miles (3.2km) to Barnhill Road in Wembley Park where it was abandoned and set alight, police reported.
