Police in California arrested a man on Tuesday for killing a couple at their home days earlier.
The Los Angeles police have identified Raymond Boodarian, aged 22, as the suspect in the murder of “American Idol” music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Tom DeLuca. The tragic incident reportedly took place on Thursday at their Encino residence during what is suspected to be a burglary attempt. According to The Los Angeles Times, Boodarian is believed to have entered the home through an unlocked door before the couple returned.
Officers reported that when Kaye and DeLuca, both 70 years old, encountered Boodarian, a fatal confrontation ensued. That same day, police responded to a call from neighbors who saw an armed individual jumping a fence. Despite their arrival, the officers found no signs of a forced entry, and an aerial search with a helicopter did not reveal any suspects.
Nevertheless, during a welfare check conducted on Monday, the bodies of Kaye and DeLuca were discovered. Sources informed The Los Angeles Times that both individuals had been shot multiple times and were found in different rooms of the house.
According to TMZ, officers smashed a window and forced entry into Kaye and DeLuca’s home after spotting blood outside. The couple — which suffered gunshot wounds to the head — died four days before they were found.
TMZ reported that surveillance footage showed Boodarian entering the victims’ home 30 minutes before they arrived. Police said nothing was taken from the home.
Meanwhile, sources told The Los Angeles Times that the FBI and local police apprehended Boodarian without incident on Tuesday. The sources said Kaye and DeLuca’s slayings may be random, but detectives are investigating whether he was involved in any prior incidents at the residence.
It is currently unclear what criminal charges Boodarian is facing.
