American Idol Music Supervisor, Husband Found Shot Dead in Los Angeles Home

Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor known for her work on "American Idol" and other prominent television shows, and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found shot to death in their upscale Encino, Los Angeles home. Police conducted a welfare check after the couple had not been heard from in four days and discovered blood at the front entrance and a smashed window, indicating a possible break-in. Authorities are investigating the deaths as a double homicide; a previous incident involving a suspicious person attempting to enter the property armed with a firearm was reported days earlier. The home was previously owned by rapper Juice WRLD and was sold to Kaye and Deluca in 2023. Kaye had a distinguished career spanning over 15 seasons of "American Idol" and multiple other entertainment projects, earning several Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. No suspects or motives have been publicly identified, and the investigation is ongoing.
