ENCINO, LOS ANGELES — Authorities have identified a former “American Idol” music supervisor and her spouse as two individuals found shot dead in a luxurious Los Angeles residence.

A spokesperson for the televised singing competition confirmed Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca’s passing in a statement to ABC News on Tuesday afternoon.

“We are heartbroken to learn about the passing of Robin and her beloved husband, Tom,” the statement read. “Since 2009, Robin has been an integral part of the ‘Idol’ family, loved and admired by everyone she encountered. She will always be remembered, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends during this challenging period.”

Officers responded to a request for a welfare check at the home on White Oak Avenue in Encino around 2:30 p.m. Monday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. That’s when they found the two victims with what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head.

They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Law enforcement sources told ABC News that the victims were found shot to death in separate rooms inside the house.

It’s unclear whether the victims lived at the home.

Investigators have not determined what led up to their deaths, or who might’ve shot them, but footage from Los Angeles ABC station’s AIR7 helicopter shows a shattered glass sliding door at the home.

“We didn’t see or hear anything. My renter called 911 on Thursday because she saw somebody hopping the fence,” said neighbor Amee Faggen. “And I have no idea if that was related or not. They came and left, the helicopters and police came.”

Police were still at the home Tuesday morning for the investigation.
