LOS
ANGELES (AP) — A 22-year-old man suspected in the shooting
deaths of a longtime music supervisor for “American Idol" and
her husband at their home in Los Angeles was charged with two
counts of murder Thursday.
Police said officers conducting a welfare check Monday at a
gated house in the Encino neighborhood found the bodies of a
woman and man with gunshot wounds. The victims were later
identified as Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca, both 70.
Raymond Boodarian, an Encino resident, was arrested Tuesday
afternoon, police said. Investigators believe he was
burglarizing the residence July 10 while the couple was away and
shot them when they suddenly returned.
Boodarian faces charges including murder and first-degree
burglary, Deputy District Attorney Hilary Williams told
reporters. Arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 20.
Boodarian could not be reached for comment. Messages were sent
to the public defender’s office inquiring if one of its
attorneys was representing him.
Kaye was with “American Idol,” the hit singing competition TV
series, for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming
season at the time of her death.
