A suspect has been arrested after an American Idol executive and her husband were found dead inside their $5million Los Angeles mansion.

On Tuesday, police apprehended 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian in connection with the tragic incident involving award-winning music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both aged 70, discovered deceased on Monday afternoon.

Boodarian is not believed to have had any relationship with his alleged victims.

Police allege he was burglarizing the home on July 10 when the couple unexpectedly arrived home.

Reportedly, CCTV footage captures Boodarian entering the residence about half an hour before the couple arrived home. He did not break in, but rather located an accessible entry point.

It is alleged that during a confrontation, Boodarian fatally shot the couple. Authorities suspect this to be an isolated incident with Boodarian acting independently.

Two calls were made to the LAPD about a possible burglary on the day of the couple’s deaths, but when officers responded they were unable to get inside because the home is ‘highly fortified’, ABC7 reported.

They saw no visible signs of forced entry and a helicopter which flew overhead did not alert officers to any dangers, so they left the scene.

They returned to the six-bedroom four days later at 2.30pm following a call for a welfare check, shattering a back window to gain access to the home. 

When they entered, they discovered Kaye and Deluca both shot in the head. 

Authorities witnessed blood at the front entrance of the couple’s home before breaking through a window to enter the property, a source told TMZ. 

According to neighbors, a person, who may have been armed, was spotted hopping a fence on the tree-lined street in the ritzy California neighborhood. 

After hearing of the tragic deaths, American Idol issued a statement, calling Kaye ‘a cornerstone of the Idol family.’ 

‘We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing,’ a spokesperson told Daily Mail. 

‘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.

‘Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.’

Kaye worked as the music supervisor for singing competition American Idol for the last 15 seasons, or nearly 300 episodes, per her IMDB page. 

Over the years, she won several Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show. 

Their sudden deaths are being investigated as a double homicide, police said. The motive is unknown

She also worked for other well-known shows, including Lip Sync Battle, Hollywood Game Night, and Worn Stories.  

Kaye also worked for the NAACP Image Awards, The Singing Bee, Miss USA, Miss Universe, American Inventor, The Dance Scene, Dance Your A** Off, Your Chance to Dance and Adventures of Power and Crashed. 

During the 7th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards in Hollywood in 2017, Kaye spoke about her career path, which she said was often unappreciated. 

‘It’s one of those parts of the business that people don’t even know it exists,’ Kaye said. 

‘It’s a very important part of films and TV. Pretty much everything in the entertainment industry has music in it and people just think that it’s there.’ 

Her husband was a musician who last released an album called Street Rock in 2022.

His first ‘acclaimed cult favorite debut’ album. ‘Down To The Wire,’ was released by Epic Records in 1986, Deluca’s website detailed. 

Deluca penned songs for popular hit makers, including Kid Rock, the band Molly Hatchet and Meredith Brooks. 

The couple purchased the home in January 2023, according to public records.

Daily Mail contacted American Idol for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
