Man Arrested for Killing ‘American Idol’ Exec and Husband Allegedly Tried to Stab His Own Mom

The 22-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday.

Police have arrested a 22-year-old man, Raymond Boodarian, for allegedly killing an American Idol music supervisor, Robin Kaye, and her husband, Thomas Deluca. Boodarian was allegedly in the home before the couple arrived, according to LAPD Lieutenant Guy Golan. The suspect has reportedly experienced episodes of poor mental health and was arrested for trying to stab his mother, Boodarian’s neighbor alleged to Fox News. Police have not established a connection between Boodarian and the victims or a potential motive, since the scene did not display obvious evidence of burglary, and Boodarian resided in a different neighborhood. The neighbor told Fox News there were frequent disturbances at Boodarian’s home and that the police made frequent visits. The neighbor called Boodarian “troubled” and speculated that he was on and off medication, claiming they would see the suspect “roaming around the neighborhood, talking to himself, saying things.” Another neighbor claimed they saw Boodarian “flash knives” at their Ring doorbell camera. “Sorry for everything that has happened. And sorry for the couple that lost their lives,” a family spokesperson for Boodarian told the outlet.
