An American Idol executive and her husband were found murdered inside their Los Angeles home on Monday.
American Idol executive Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca were both found with gunshot wounds to their head after authorities conducted a welfare check on the couple after they were not heard from for days.
Yahoo News had more details to share on the murders:
American Idol executive Robin Kaye was found dead along with her husband following an apparent break-in at their home in Los Angeles, according to reports.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the couple’s Encino home to conduct a welfare check at around 2.30 p.m. on Monday after the couple hadn’t been heard from in several days, police told Deadline.
Officers found that Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca appeared to have suffered from gunshot wounds to the head.
They were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
It’s not immediately clear who might have shot them or what the motive behind the shooting was. Police have not yet released any information on suspects.
Update:
The two people murdered in Encino (that’s in Los Angeles in the Valley) were an American Idol music exec and her husband
Looks like a targeted assassination via point blank gunshots to the head
I wonder what they knew… https://t.co/EvyQhQvMAi pic.twitter.com/ODYE7ZUqkj

Variety provided more details on the murders:
LAPD officers were called to the San Fernando Valley home in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue for a “welfare check” at 2:33 p.m. on Monday, said Officer Rosario Cervantes. They found two victims, a man and a woman, dead of gunshot wounds, she said. The LAPD did not confirm their identities, but TMZ was first to identify them as the victims of a double homicide.
A spokesperson for “American Idol” also confirmed Tuesday that Kaye and Deluca had been killed.
“We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing,” the spokesperson said. “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. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”
At this point, there is no known motive and no information on a potential suspect, Cervantes said. The Valley Homicide Bureau is investigating.
Police were called on Thursday after a suspicious person was seen scaling a wall at the couple’s home, a neighbor told Variety.
The police came to the location after the call around 4 p.m., but did not find evidence of a crime, said Officer Charles Miller. It was unclear if that call was related to the homicides, he said.
Police were called again on Monday after the couple’s relatives had not heard for them for several days, the neighbor said.
Several burglaries have been reported in the area, the neighbor said. But the police also told another neighbor that they do not believe there is a threat to the broader community.
Property records show that Kaye and Deluca bought their home on White Oak in 2023 for $4.5 million.
