A spokesperson for "American Idol" confirmed that Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70 years old, are dead.
The Los Angeles police announced on Tuesday afternoon that they had arrested a 22-year-old in connection with the couple's death. He is alleged to have broken into their home while the couple was away on July 10. The man is suspected of shooting and killing Kaye and her husband when they returned, and then fled on foot.
Kaye, who was a veteran in the industry, had also worked on the music departments for several other productions, such as ”The Singing Bee”, ”Hollywood Game Night", ”Lip Sync Battle” and several Miss USA and Miss Universe competitions.
