📰 ‘American Idol’ exec murder: Timeline shows police left home minutes before fatal shooting
Robin Kaye and Thomas DeLuca were found shot to death inside their home in Los Angeles on July 14 after a welfare check by the LAPD. The police were alerted by a friend who hadn’t heard from the couple for days. The officers discovered signs of trouble outside the home and found the couple deceased after breaking a window to enter. The LAPD had been called to the couple’s home twice on July 10 but had left before the tragic incident occurred. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and one count of first-degree burglary.
The couple attended a neighborhood safety meeting the night before their deaths, and a neighbor called 911 after seeing someone climbing the fence to access their property. The LAPD responded to the calls about a burglary but initially saw no signs of forced entry due to the fortified nature of the home. Investigators believe the suspect entered through an unlocked door and engaged in a violent struggle with the victims. Boodarian allegedly used the couple’s own gun in the killings and could face life without parole or the death penalty.
Boodarian was charged with the murders and appeared in court, where new details were revealed by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. The community in Encino expressed concerns over rising crime and increased patrolling in the area during nighttime hours. The LAPD has been actively investigating the case, and authorities are working to address safety concerns in the neighborhood.
