Arthur Reddy, 84, was found dead at his Indio home on March 21, 2025, alongside his 84-year-old wife, Judith Reddy, after a handyman raised concerns and officers forced entry to a locked residence on Green Hills Court. Both victims were discovered in separate rooms.

Investigators identified the couple’s 51-year-old son, Kevin James Reddy, as a suspect and located him at a Palm Desert home. He initially told officers his parents had gone to a retreat, then barricaded himself; after a hours-long standoff with the Desert Regional SWAT Team he surrendered. Court filings allege a shotgun was used in Arthur’s killing—pellets consistent with shotgun birdshot were recovered—and that Judith may have been stabbed. Safes at the scene contained live 9mm and .38 Special rounds and a shotgun.

Kevin Reddy was charged with two counts of murder with a special circumstance, pleaded not guilty at arraignment, and is held without bail. His criminal history includes convictions for attempted murder, weapons violations, and resisting arrest; neighbors described him as aggressive and unpredictable.

Did anyone in the Indio or Palm Desert area know the Reddy family or notice anything unusual around Green Hills Court in March?
