Teenager Arrested on Suspicion of Murder Following Fatal Shooting Outside London Church

An 18-year-old is in custody after the death of a woman in a drive-by shooting in Brent, raising concerns about rising violence in the capital.
An 18-year-old man has been detained on suspicion of murder following a tragic shooting incident outside a church in Brent, north-west London.

The event occurred on the evening of December 14, 2024, when shots were fired in Gifford Road at approximately 9:15 PM, fatally injuring 44-year-old Michelle Sadio, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Ms. Sadio was among mourners attending a wake when the drive-by shooting took place.

The aftermath left two other men, both in their 30s, injured.

One man sustained critical injuries and remains hospitalized in a stable condition, while the second man has received treatment and has been discharged.

The shots were reportedly fired from a moving black Kia Niro, identifiable by its "distinctive" alloys and the registration number LA23 XRE.

The vehicle was later discovered abandoned and deliberately set on fire on Barnhill Road, sparking further investigation by forensic teams.

The 18-year-old suspect was apprehended on Wednesday and is currently held in custody as investigations proceed.

Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who is at the helm of the inquiry, emphasized the need for public assistance: "While this arrest marks a significant step forward in this investigation, we continue to appeal for anyone with information about Michelle's murder to come forward and speak to us."

He continued, "This was a senseless act of violence that resulted in an innocent woman being killed.

Michelle's family continues to grieve, and we are determined to ensure those responsible face the consequences of their actions."

Authorities urge anyone with potential information regarding the incident to contact the police by calling 101 or messaging @MetCC on the platform X, quoting the reference CAD 7137/14DEC.

For those preferring anonymity, details can be disclosed through the independent charity Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.

This incident has intensified the dialogue concerning violence in London, underscoring the necessity for continued community engagement and collaboration with law enforcement to ensure public safety and justice for victims.
