An American Idol executive and her husband were found murdered inside their $5 million Los Angeles mansion.
Authorities have reported that Robin Kaye, an acclaimed music supervisor known for his work on a popular television series, and Thomas Deluca, both aged 70, were tragically shot and killed inside their Encino residence on Monday.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a request for a welfare check at the couple’s six-bedroom house. Upon arrival, officers found that Kaye and Deluca had both been fatally shot in the head.
Authorities witnessed blood at the front entrance of the couple’s home before breaking through a window to enter the property, a source told TMZ.
Their sudden deaths are being investigated as a double homicide, police said.
Police were previously called to their home Thursday for a suspect who was allegedly trying to break-in, the outlet reported.
According to neighbors, a person, who may have been armed, was spotted hopping a fence.
Police officers called to the home to conduct a welfare check after neighbors and family had not heard from them in four days.

Kaye worked as the music supervisor for the singing competition show for the last 15 seasons, or 300 episodes, per her IMDB page.
Over the years, she won several Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show.
She also worked for other well-known shows, including Lip Sync Battle, Hollywood Game Night, and Worn Stories.
Kaye also worked for the NAACP Image Awards, The Singing Bee, Miss USA, Miss Universe, American Inventor, The Dance Scene, Dance Your A** Off, Your Chance to Dance and Adventures of Power and Crashed.
During the 7th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards in Hollywood in 2017, Kaye spoke about her career path, that she said was often unappreciated.
‘It’s one of those parts of the business that people don’t even know it exists,’ Kaye said.
‘It’s a very important part of films and TV. Pretty much everything in the entertainment industry has music in it and people just think that it’s there.’
Her husband was a musician who last released an album called Street Rock in 2022
