Police have released fresh images of witnesses they are keen to talk to in connection to a drive-by shooting outside a wake where a mother-of-two was killed.
Michelle Sadio, 46, was gunned down when a car drew up outside of a church near Wembley Stadium and opened fire on a gathering of mourners in the street.
The ceremony – held at the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church in Harlesden – was organised to mark the ninth day of Dinah Boateng’s death on December 5.
Ms Sadio, 46, from Walthamstow, East London, had stepped out of the venue to take a break when she was shot just before 9.15 pm on December 14.
Two men – both in their 30s – were also shot, with one being struck in the foot while the other was hit in the back and remains in hospital in a critical state.
Investigators have now made public a picture of a person they think may know something about the car’s occupants connected to the drive-by shooting.
The car driven by the suspects has been described as a black Kia Niro with distinct alloys, with the number plate LA23 XRE.
The assailants fired a number of shots in Gifford Road, before driving away to Barnhill Road where the vehicle was dumped and set ablaze.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who is overseeing 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.’
Specialist officers are presently providing support to Ms Sadio’s family, who have asked for privacy at this trying time.
It’s Walthamstow, so there is no British involvement, and two words immediately come to mind: gangs and drugs!
At one time, gun crime was something that occurred in other countries, but sadly not anymore. Not to worry – Labour is giving Khan a knighthood for wrecking London, I wonder what Rachel from complaints will get for recking the economy and condemning the Tories for her policies.
Every day there’s a killing in London, but the Mayor of London said it’s safe on the streets while he drives about in a bulletproof car.
