Almost two weeks after he was shot to death at his Upper Lonsdale home, homicide investigators are asking for the Iranian Canadian community’s help in finding the killer of Rostam Poulad-Noshiravan.
The well-known 69-year-old Persian music and culture promoter died at the scene on the 4000-block of St. George Avenue after being shot on Nov. 30.
The killing has left Poulad-Noshiravan’s family and investigators baffled.
“Given the victim’s close ties to the Iranian community in the North Shore and rest of the Lower Mainland and the circumstances of the murder, we believe that someone within the Iranian community has the answers we are looking for,” said Sgt. Bari Emam, IHIT spokesman in a press release.
“I ask anyone who has any information no matter how trivial to please contact us about this case. This was a senseless act and the victim’s family deserves to know why this happened.”
Anyone with information is asked to call IHIT’s tip line at 778-290-5290 or remain anonymous by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
