    VANCOUVER — Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting in North Vancouver that left a 25-year-old man dead on Christmas Day.


    RCMP were called to an address on Seylynn Crescent following reports of gunshots at around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday.


    Police say they found Rock Habib-Joumaa of North Vancouver with gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.


    They say the victim is known to the police but does not have a criminal record, and they believe the shooting was targeted.
