Who is suspected of killing American Idol producer Robin Kaye? LAPD makes arrest in double homicide

Robin Kaye, a famous American Idol producer, and her husband, Thomas Deluca, have reportedly been found dead from gunshot wounds in their Los Angeles home.

The report was first made by a neighbor who told the police about an armed man who entered their house through the fence on Thursday. During the search, police didn't suspect any suspicious entry or signs of disturbance.

The police visited Robin Kaye's home at the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue on July 14 for a check after finding blood outside the house. Both the couples were found dead in different rooms after police went inside the house through a window.

They were 70 years old. Police have arrested Raymond Boodarian, a resident of Encino, for the double homicide, according to TMZ. Boodarian is reportedly twenty-two years old and said to have no prior connection to the late couple, which has led to suspicion of burglary.

According to CNN,

"The victims returned home while the suspect was inside their residence, and a confrontation ensued, which resulted in the suspect taking their lives."

Cops have also found footage of Raymond Boodarian making his way into Robin Kaye and Thomas's house on Thursday, which has led to his arrest.
