“American Idol” confirms death of executive Robin Kaye and her husband in Encino shooting

An “American Idol” executive and her husband were shot and killed in their Encino home, a show spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday, while police search for a suspect.

Robin Kaye, who worked as a music supervisor on the long-running singing competition show, started working on the now-ABC-produced series more than a decade ago.

“We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing,” a statement from a series spokesperson says. “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.”

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department is yet to identify the victims of the fatal shooting. The department said two bodies, one male and one female, were found at the Encino home when officers responded to a home on the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue for a wellness check Monday.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Police said the incident was being investigated as a double homicide. There is no information regarding a potential suspect as of Tuesday afternoon.
