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 and later Tuesday afternoon they announced that one person had been arrested in connection with the shooting. They did not provide further details on the suspect.
