Detectives are investigating whether a mother gunned down in a fatal drive-by shooting was in ‘the wrong place at the wrong time’.

It is understood that police believe that Michelle Sadio, 46, may not have been the intended target of the attack in North London.

Two men, both aged in their 30s, were also shot and suffered serious injuries, with one remaining in hospital in a critical condition.

Police are trawling through video footage from the scene on Saturday evening.

Witnesses said a congregation of 120 people were leaving the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church in Gifford Road, Willesden at about 9.15pm when ‘at least five’ shots rang out.

While formal identification has yet to take place, officers are confident she is 46-year-old Michelle Sadio. Her family are being supported by specialist officers.

Michelle, described as a ‘brilliant woman’ by a friend, died at the scene in front of weeping onlookers.

‘She was a light in all of our lives. She adored her children and worked hard to give them a happy life,’ they told the Sun.

Road closures remain in place around the scene as work continues to gather evidence following the shooting.

There have been no arrests and enquiries into the circumstances continue.

Superintendent Tony Josephs said: ‘This is a truly shocking incident that has left a woman dead and two others injured, and I understand the concern this will cause the local community and those across London.

‘I want to reassure people that a team of experienced detectives are already working at pace to piece together the events of last night and identify whoever was responsible for this heinous act of violence.

‘If you were in or around Gifford Road at the time of the shooting, or have any information about who was responsible, please get in contact with us. A family has been left devastated and we need to work together to provide them with answers.’
