A woman who was killed in a drive by shooting in northwest London on Saturday has been named as 46-year-old Michelle Sadio.

Two men, both in their 30s, also suffered injuries in the attack on Gifford Road in Harlesden, Brent.

The victims had been among mourners attending a wake inside the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church, according to Pastor Lawrence Larbie.

He said people started running into the building at around 9.15pm saying “there’s been a shooting, there’s been a shooting”, with gunshots believed to have been fired at the gathering from inside a passing car.

“It’s shocking. We are really devastated. You are invited to attend the wake, and you end up deceased. You’re killed. You’re gone. Your life is expired just like that,” he said.

“It was pandemonium in the building. They came with very deadly, evil intentions to cause death.”

Police were called at around 9:15pm and found Ms Sadio with serious injuries before she was pronounced dead at the scene.
