A murder investigation is underway following a shooting in Brent.
At approximately 21:15hrs on Saturday, 14 December, police were called to report a shooting in Gifford Road, NW10. Officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics attended the scene.
A woman was found suffering serious injuries – despite the efforts of the emergency services, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
While formal identification has yet to take place, officers are confident she is 46-year-old Michelle Sadio. Specialist officers are supporting her family.
Two men, both in their 30s, also suffered injuries. One remains in the hospital in critical condition; the other man’s injuries are not life-threatening.
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, from the North West Command Unit, which covers Brent, 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.”
