'American Idol' Music Supervisor Killed In Double Homicide ... Police Find Murdered Couple in L.A. Home
TMZ ^ | 07/15/2025

Posted on 07/15/2025 3:10:48 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor on "American Idol," was found dead inside her Los Angeles home ... and TMZ has learned she and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were the victims of a gruesome double murder.

Our law enforcement sources tell us the bodies of the couple were discovered Monday inside their house in Encino after LAPD officers showed up for a welfare check.

We're told cops saw blood at the front entrance and then smashed a window to gain entry to the home, where they found Robin and Thomas suffering from possible gunshot wounds. They were both declared dead at the scene.

cops were previously called to the home Thursday ... an unidentified suspect was seen trying to gain entry and may have been armed with a firearm. Neighbors say someone spotted a person hopping a fence and called police ... officers responded but found no signs of forced entry and searched the property before leaving. Its unclear if this incident is related to the homicides.

During a welfare check Monday, cops told neighbors family members had not heard from the couple in 4 days. It's unclear who called for the welfare check.

Could be a long list of suspects who didn’t make the cut on American Idol.

No forced entry, both were shot in the head execution style..who would want her dead, honestly who would even know who she is, she doesnt make decisions as to who wins the contest she plays no role in it

“No forced entry, both were shot in the head execution style..”

In different bedrooms. Someone wanted information before they made the hit. Whose blood was near the front door and why?

Forgot to add, it seems like more of these types of hits are happening lately. People are being silenced.

and since Encino is LAPD territory, by the time they showed up on Thursday when someone was spotted trying to hop the fence(Probably the same one who killed them both) he was already gone. When its LAPD, and you need assistance unfortunately dont bother total waste of time they come hours later

So the cops showed up... The murderer was there, and they left him, or her to finish off the job.

Nice police work.

I was thinking this type of gruesome violence is the stuff of drug criminals.

They arrested the perp :

The suspect was identified as 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian. Detectives believe he has no relationship to the victims. He was allegedly burglarizing the residence while the couple came home, and he shot and killed them during a struggle.

Sources tell ABC News that there is no evidence he is related to any burglary rings and was not working with anyone else. They believe it was an isolated event.

Detectives believe the murder happened on July 10 when LAPD got two calls for service for a possible burglary at the address. Surveillance video reportedly shows the suspect entering the home on the afternoon of July 10.

"...where they found Robin and Thomas suffering from possible gunshot wounds. They were both declared dead at the scene."

Uh, they weren't suffering if they were dead.
