Crime & Arrests

Skai Jackson's baby daddy Deondre Burgin can't stop getting in trouble with the law ... because he was hit with a second arrest warrant for much more serious crimes in the last 2 months, for an armed carjacking, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... back on June 21, Burgin and another suspect accosted a man near his parked Mercedes in Cincinnati, Ohio, according to a police report, obtained by TMZ.

One suspect allegedly pulled a firearm and ordered the victim to turn over his stuff, but it was unclear if Burgin was the gunslinger. The gunman pistol-whipped the man and snatched his keys with the help of his companion, police said.

Rashee Rice has just been sentenced to jail time over his role in a 2024 high-speed car crash.

Raymond Boodarian -- the man accused of committing the grisly double homicide of "American Idol" music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca in a botched burglary -- had long alarmed his neighbors with alleged bizarre and erratic behavior ... TMZ has learned.

We spoke with multiple neighbors who live in the same Los Angeles apartment complex where Boodarian resided with his mother, stepfather, and teenage sister -- and where he was taken into custody on Tuesday. All described disturbing encounters with the 22-year-old, and they claim he regularly walked around the complex in a trance-like state.

The neighbors tell TMZ he would wander the property for hours, sometimes barefoot, just staring at the ground. The neighbors said he never seemed present, and recalled him always being "out of it."

The victims of a shocking double murder -- "American Idol" music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca -- had three pets ... who TMZ has learned are safe and sound.

Los Angeles Police Department Lieutenant Guy Golan tells TMZ ... the couple had three pets -- a small white dog, a tortoise and a parrot -- and all three were found alive and unharmed. They were turned over to friends and family, we're told.

We've also confirmed with our law enforcement sources that authorities recovered a handgun at the scene, which they will test to determine if it belongs to the victims or the suspect.

More legal woes are bubbling for Skai Jackson’s baby daddy Deondre Burgin ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's been arrested again -- this time for a warrant while washing a car he should not have been driving!

Here's the scoop ... Deondre was giving his vehicle a good ol’ scrub-down at a Kentucky gas station on July 14 when police drove by and apparently ran his license plate -- which is something cops often do in Kenton County, KY, according to a rep for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office.

The spokesperson tells us the plate check revealed Deondre has an active warrant out of Hamilton County, Ohio, so the police busted him.

The man suspected of killing an "American Idol" music supervisor and her husband was taken into custody yesterday ... and, TMZ has obtained pictures of the arrest.

The photos show 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian standing in front of a row of garages at a residential complex, with numerous cops surrounding him ... no shirt on and his hands cuffed behind his back.

The pictures are all taken from behind Boodarian, so you can't see his face. One garage door behind the group is open ... though it's unclear if that's where he came from.

The stunning double homicide of "American Idol" music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband has rocked their Los Angeles neighborhood amid skyrocketing break-ins in the area ... and now the family directly next door wants to get the hell out of there.

The neighbor of the slain couple tells TMZ ... he and his family are completely terrified -- but not as shocked as they could be, since he says crime -- home break-ins, specifically -- in the Encino area has escalated dramatically the past few years.

We're told, immediately after news broke of the killings, several neighbors had an impromptu meeting where they agreed to look out for one another ... 'cause it was simply getting too dangerous to rely on home security systems alone.

9:58 AM PT -- President Trump doubled down on his claim that the Epstein files are a hoax while he spoke to the media in the Oval Office ... claiming that anyone who believes in the hoax has been duped by Democrats.

Donald Trump is trying to be done with the Jeffrey Epstein firestorm, and he's making it crystal clear -- if you believe in some secret Epstein "client list," he doesn’t want your support!

In a heated Truth Social rant Wednesday morning, Trump called the Epstein Files a hoax cooked up by the "Radical Left" and Fake News -- insisting there's no secret list of bombshell names -- and he's calling out his own supporters for swallowing what he calls total "bullsh*t, hook, line, and sinker."

He lumped the rumors about Epstein -- the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender accused of sex trafficking underage victims who died in jail awaiting trial -- in with every scam and hoax he’s railed against before at the hands of Democrats ... painting it all as one big smear campaign to take him down.

The alleged murderer of "American Idol" Music Supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, left forensic evidence behind that directly led to his arrest ... sources with knowledge tell TMZ.

The LAPD arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, and our sources say the key piece of evidence linking him to the crime is fingerprints ... cops were able to lift fingerprints from the crime scene.

Authorities were able to match the prints to Boodarian because his prints were in the LAPD's database. Boodarian had been arrested on 3 separate criminal battery cases in 2024, and protocol is to get fingerprints upon arrest.

Cops in India have arrested the man suspected of killing famed marathon runner Fauja Singh in a hit-and-run accident earlier this week.

Law enforcement tells us 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian was arrested on suspicion of double homicide. LAPD detectives believe he has no relationship to Robin and her husband ... and we're told this was an isolated incident. Boodarian is believed to have entered the house through an unlocked door on Thursday afternoon, police said.

Police said when the couple arrived home and discovered the suspect, a confrontation ensued and they were both shot multiple times. The suspect fled on foot, police said. Officers responding to a call for a welfare check on Monday discovered the couple dead inside the house.

7/16 -- 2:08 PM PT -- TMZ's learned the whole shootout video ended up being nothing but a fake ... with sources in direct contact with the guy telling us no live rounds were fired, and law enforcement confirming there were no reports of a shooting or attempted robbery.

Rapper Troy Ave is his brother's keeper ... and he proved it, big time, by opening fire on a gunman who ran up on his pal, celeb chef Geoff Cole.

The shootout went down in the San Diego area -- home security footage shows Geoff pull up at home in his Bentley, Troy gets out on the passenger side ... and as both men are walking toward the garage, a would-be robber sneaks down the alley and charges at Geoff.

The Brooklyn MC immediately reacted, reaching for his own handgun as the gunman fumbled an apparent weapon -- and Troy seized the opportunity to start shooting and chasing the guy back into the alley.

The man accused of murdering a Minnesota politician and seriously injuring another left a handwritten letter to FBI director Kash Patel, confessing to the shootings and claiming Minnesota governor Tim Walz approached him about killing 2 U.S. Senators ... at least according to federal prosecutors.

Vance Boelter was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Minnesota on murder and stalking charges in the killing of State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman.

Acting United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota Joseph Thompson said the incident was a "political assassination, the likes of which have never occurred here in the state of Minnesota."

As President Trump's administration faces a whole brouhaha over newly released details in the disputed "Epstein Files" over the last week ... we're getting a peek at Jeffrey Epstein's one-time girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell warming the track at the Florida penitentiary where she's doing time.

Check out these pics and video ... Maxwell's getting some brisk outdoor exercise at FCI Tallahassee, where she's currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, with lots and lots of barbed wire as a backdrop.

Maxwell was accused of soliciting and grooming minors for abuse and sex crimes from 1994 to 2004 ... and was convicted on 5 counts, including sex trafficking of a minor in December 2021. She was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison about 6 months later.

It's been decades since Dwyane Wade's mom was in prison, but he just revealed to TMZ Sports he still has all the notes she sent him from her time behind bars ... and he still reads them to this day.

The NBA legend opened up to us about being pen pals with Jolinda Wade while she was incarcerated earlier in his life, and he explained why it was super important to both of them to keep in contact despite her situation.

He told us he wanted to let her know "we wasn't judging her. We wasn't pointing fingers at her. We just loved her and we just wanted her to come home to us."

D.L. Hughley says President Trump's attempt to downplay the Jeffrey Epstein controversy seems to implicate Trump ... and he's calling for the Epstein files to be released so folks can see who was hanging out with the pedophile.

The comedian joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live" and ripped into Trump for even associating with Epstein back in the day ... and he says if Trump has nothing to hide, it should be a no-brainer to release the files.

Trump promised to release the files if he was elected to a second term ... but earlier this month the DOJ and FBI sent out a memo saying there was no "little black book," that Epstein killed himself in jail, and that no one else in the case would be prosecuted.
