'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband shot dead in their L.A. home

A man was arrested Tuesday in the fatal shootings of an “American Idol” music supervisor and her husband, a day after the couple were found dead in their Los Angeles home, police and a representative of the show said.

Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca, both 70, were found about 2:30 p.m. Monday after officers were called to their home in Encino for a welfare check and discovered blood at the front door, Los Angeles police said.

A suspect, Raymond Boodarian, 22, also of Encino, was identified and arrested after homicide detectives worked through the night, the police department said.

Charges were not announced in a news release Tuesday evening, but police alleged that he is responsible for the double homicide.

Kaye was a music supervisor for “American Idol,” according to the celebrity website TMZ, which first reported the killings Tuesday.

"We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing," a spokesperson for "American Idol" said.

"Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her," the spokesperson said. "Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time."

Police said that officers were called to the home in Encino, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, at 4 p.m. Thursday for a report of a burglar but that officers saw no sign of any burglary.

Investigators now believe that the burglar entered the home on that date through an unlocked door and that the couple came home while the burglar was still there, the police department said.

Investigators believe that there was a confrontation and that the suspect shot both victims multiple times and ran away, police said.

The investigation continues, police said Tuesday.

Investigators were trying to determine whether Boodarian has any connection to Deluca and Kaye, police said.

The person who called Monday about a welfare check did so after having not heard from the resident for several days, police said.

A phone number for relatives of Boodarian could not immediately be found in online public records. It was not clear whether he had an attorney.
