Man charged with killing an ‘American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

San Fernando Valley residents raise concerns over recent burglaries
Residents packed into the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association on Wednesday night to deliver their concerns on crime and safety straight to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. "It's crazy," Van Nuys resident Jim Strong said. "It's horrible." Residents from Sherman Oaks and the surrounding areas said a spike in crimes, including burglaries, has made them fearful in their homes, especially after an American Idol executive and her husband were killed inside of their Encino home. "The people in these communities deserve all of the protection they can get," McDonnell said. "They deserve to have a police department that's responsive and react to any issues that come up." The concerns echoed those CBS News Los Angeles heard from residents on Wednesday morning. They also expressed concerns about the lack of offices on the street and resources being diverted elsewhere. "If we could increase the number of positions at the department in terms of officers on the street, that's going to be a huge reciprocal for that," said Robert Tomlinson, who runs the local neighborhood watch. McDonnell admitted that the department has struggled to recruit candidates recently, with LAPD down 1,400 officers compared to five years ago. "They can't get funding and everything's been canceled for them," Strong said. McDonnell said he hopes to recruit new officers and close key cases that could bring community members peace of mind. "My hope is that they will provide some level of satisfaction for people who have been victimized by burglaries that have been so prevalent here," he said.
