An American Idol music supervisor and her husband were fatally shot in their $4.5-million home in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE it conducted a welfare check at a home on White Oak Avenue in Encino on Monday, July 14 at around 2:30 p.m. Inside the residence, the couple, both 70 years old, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. First responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived and pronounced them dead at the scene.

LAPD identified the deceased as Robin Kaye, a music supervisor for the iconic singing show, and musician Thomas Deluca. They were reportedly found in separate rooms in the home.

Raymond Boodarian, 22, a resident of Encino, has been arrested in connection with the killings, according to the LAPD. The couple is believed to have walked in on the suspect inside their home, where a confrontation turned deadly.

Police say the killings appear to be random, and there is currently no known connection between the victims and the suspect.

Kaye, a music reality series veteran, worked in the music department as a producer at American Idol between 2002 and 2023. Her other music supervisor credits included work on Lip Sync Battle, After the Sunset, The Singing Bee and Q’Viva!: The Chosen. She also worked on several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

Just four days prior, on July 10, police responded to a possible burglary at the same address around 4:00 p.m. While there were no visible signs of forced entry at the time, investigators now believe the suspect entered through an unlocked door.

“The victims returned home while the suspect had gained entry into the residence, and a confrontation ensued, which resulted in the suspect taking their lives,” authorities said. “The victims succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, and the suspect fled from the residence on foot.”

KTLA spoke to neighbors, who reportedly said that days before the bodies were found, there was an attempted break-in at the same home on July 10.

“My renter saw someone hopping the fence back on Thursday and she called 911,” a woman, Amee Faggen, told KTLA. “But we [haven’t] heard anything since then, so we have no idea if it’s even related or not.”

A spokesperson for American Idol tells PEOPLE they’re “devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing.”

“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,” the statement continued. “Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”
