The mum was pronounced dead at the scene at around 9.15pm on Saturday.
Two men, both in their 30s, were also injured in the shooting – one of whom remains in hospital fighting for his life.
The other man suffered injuries not deemed to be life-threatening.
Detectives investigating the drive-by triple shooting have released an image of several people they want to speak to.
The Met has urged the people seen talking to those in the car shortly before the shooting to come forward.
Police are also calling for the occupants of a white Mercedes driving past the suspects’ car to speak to them.
A black Kia with “distinctive” alloys was being driven by the group before the shooting took place in Gifford Road.
The car was then driven away from the scene, abandoned and set alight.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who is leading the investigation, said: “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?”
He added: “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.”
Michelle was among 120 churchgoers leaving a service at River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church when the gun horror took place.
Tributes have poured in following her death, with friends describing her as “the light of our lives”.
Her devastated husband Jean-Marie also told of his shock of losing his wife in London’s latest gun chaos.
The commercial disputes expert said: “I am in shock. How could this have happened?
“No one has any respect for life anymore.
“I had to tell my children that this tragedy has taken their mother away.”
One pal said: “Michelle was a light in all of our lives. She adored her children and worked hard to give them a happy life.
“She didn’t deserve this. No one does. She was a brilliant mum.”
A Met Police spokesman said: “At approximately 9.15pm on Saturday police were called to reports of the shooting, which happened as Michelle and others were standing outside the church following a wake.
“Michelle, aged 44, was found suffering serious injuries – despite the efforts of the emergency services she was pronounced dead at the scene.
“There have been no arrests at this stage and enquiries into the circumstances continue.”
