A suspect was arrested after the murder of an American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca. They were both 70 years old.

They were found shot to death in their Los Angeles home during a welfare check yesterday. The suspect - 22 year old Raymond Boodarian - was arrested at his home today. LAPD Lt. Guy Golan said:

He said Boodarian had scaled a fence onto the property and was inside when the victims arrived home and then shot and killed them during a "violent struggle."

It is believed the couple were killed on July 10, when the Los Angeles Police Department received two calls about a possible burglary at the address in Encino after a person was seen jumping the fence onto the property.

Officers responding to the calls that day were unable to go into the home because it is highly fortified, with 8-foot walls with spikes, police sources said earlier. Police flew a helicopter over and saw no signs of a burglary or of any other trouble and left, the official said.

However, surveillance footage later reviewed by police showed the suspect scaling the fence and then apparently entering an unlocked door, Golan said. The victims arrived home about 30 minutes later, he said.

Kaye had been with the TV show "American Idol" since 2009, according to a spokesperson for the ABC singing competition series.

"We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing," the spokesperson said in a statement. "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."

The initial burglary turned shockingly deadly as the two innocent home owners were shot while they tried to defend themselves.
