Robin Kaye, a longtime music supervisor for "American Idol," and her husband, musician Thomas Deluca, were sadly found dead in their Los Angeles home.

Both were 70 years old. According to police, the case is being treated as a suspected double homicide.

On July 14, police visited the couple's Encino home for a welfare check after loved ones grew concerned, according to the LAPD.

According to ENews, upon entering, authorities discovered both victims in separate rooms, each with apparent gunshot wounds to the head.

When emergency responders arrived, the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that both were already deceased at the scene.

Law enforcement officials say the motive remains unclear, but a suspect is currently in custody.

Authorities told sources that the investigation is ongoing and that the house was not ransacked, which may rule out burglary as a motive.

Sources told TMZ that police had responded to a call at the same property just four days earlier, on July 10, after someone was reportedly seen trying to break in.

Officers at the time found no signs of forced entry and no suspect on the premises. It's still unknown if that incident is linked to the deaths.
