 A Los Angeles mansion once owned by the late rapper Juice Wrld has become the center of a disturbing double-murder investigation.

Authorities discovered the bodies of American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, at the $4.5 million property earlier this week. Both victims were found with gunshot wounds to the head and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian for the alleged double homicide. According to Lt. Guy Golan, surveillance footage showed Boodarian scaling the property’s fence before entering through an unlocked door. A violent confrontation occurred when the homeowners returned, ultimately resulting in their deaths. Police believe the suspect was inside the home for about 30 minutes.

Just four days earlier, officers had responded to a potential burglary at the same residence but found no signs of forced entry. Investigators are now exploring whether Boodarian had any prior connection to the victims.

American Idol released a heartfelt statement mourning the loss of Kaye, who had worked with the show since 2009. “Robin was a cornerstone of the Idol family… She will remain in our hearts forever.”

This tragic incident comes shortly after Juice Wrld’s estate reissued his Legends Never Die album in a deluxe edition, marking five years since its release. Juice Wrld passed away in December 2019 from a drug overdose after a police search at Chicago’s Midway Airport.

The chilling events have brought renewed attention to Juice Wrld’s former home, casting a dark shadow over a property once associated with music success.
