Both were 70 years old.\n\nPolice arrested Raymond Boodarian<\/strong>, 22 years old<\/strong>, as a suspect<\/strong> in the double homicide<\/strong>.\n\n\n

Authorities say that Boodarian<\/strong> did not know the victims and that it is an isolated case, with no connection to other crimes in the area.\n\n\n

Confrontation<\/h2>\n\n\nAccording to the Los Angeles Police Department, a friend of the couple requested a welfare check after being unable to contact them. Upon arrival at the scene, officers found blood on the porch of the residence, located on the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue.\n\nBy forcing entry, they discovered Kaye and Deluca dead<\/strong> in separate rooms, with multiple gunshot wounds to the head<\/strong>.\n\nThe surveillance cameras<\/strong> show how the suspect<\/strong> scaled the 2.4-meter fence<\/strong> with spikes that protected the house<\/strong> and entered through an unsecured door<\/strong>. Thirty minutes later, the couple returned to the home<\/strong> and, according to the police version, were murdered after a violent confrontation inside the house.\n\nThe crime<\/strong> occurred four days later<\/strong> after the police received reports<\/strong> about a man attempting to enter<\/strong> the same house<\/strong>. On that occasion, the officers failed to locate the suspect<\/strong> and withdrew after finding no signs of robbery, even though a helicopter flew over the area.\n\nThe house<\/strong> showed no signs of having been ransacked<\/strong> and the motive for the crime<\/strong> remains unclear. Lieutenant Guy Golan, of the Los Angeles Police Department, confirmed that the investigation<\/strong> is still open and that multiple hypotheses are being evaluated.\n\nRobin Kaye<\/strong> worked as a music supervisor<\/strong> on American Idol<\/strong> since 2009.\n\nThe program lamented the tragedy in a statement: \"Robin has been a fundamental pillar of the Idol family since 2009 and was very loved and respected<\/strong> by all who knew her. She will remain in our hearts forever.\"\n\nThe arrest<\/strong> of Boodarian<\/strong> took place at his residence<\/strong> in Encino<\/strong> and, so far, the formal charges<\/strong> have not been specified nor has it been reported whether he has legal representation.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
