\n\tThe longtime music supervisor on \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d and her husband were found dead Monday of gunshot wounds at their home in Encino.<\/p>\n
\n\tRobin Kaye<\/a>, who worked on the show for 15 years, was married to Thomas Deluca<\/a>. Both were 70 years old, according to public records.<\/p>\n \n\tLAPD officers were called to the San Fernando Valley home in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue for a \u201cwelfare check\u201d 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<\/a> to identify them as the victims of a double homicide.<\/p>\n \n\tA spokesperson for \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d also confirmed Tuesday that Kaye and Deluca had been killed.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom\u2019s, passing,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cRobin 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAt this point, there is no known motive and no information on a potential suspect, Cervantes said. The Valley Homicide Bureau is investigating.<\/p>\n \n\tPolice were called on Thursday after a suspicious person was seen scaling a wall at the couple\u2019s home, a neighbor told Variety. <\/p>\n \n\tThe 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.<\/p>\n \n\tPolice were called again on Monday after the couple\u2019s relatives had not heard for them for several days, the neighbor said.<\/p>\n \n\tSeveral 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. <\/p>\n \n\tProperty records show that Kaye and Deluca bought their home on White Oak in 2023 for $4.5 million.<\/p>\n \n\tKaye also worked on the NAACP Image Awards and \u201cLip Sync Battle,\u201d among other shows. She also served as vice president of the Guild of Music Supervisors.<\/p>\n
