"LOS ANGELES -- Rob Reiner's son Nick Reiner is expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday on two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents. Nick Reiner, 32, was charged Tuesday with killing the 78-year-old actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced at a news conference with LA Police Chief Jim McDonnell."
"The announcement came two days after the couple was found dead from apparent stab wounds in their home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles. Nick Reiner did not resist when he was arrested hours later in the Exposition Park area near the University of Southern California, about 14 miles from the crime scene, police said."
Nick Reiner, 32, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents, 78-year-old actor-director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Prosecutors added special-circumstances allegations of multiple murders and that a dangerous weapon, a knife, was used, which could increase potential penalties. Los Angeles County officials said the office has not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty. The couple was found stabbed in their Brentwood home; Nick Reiner was arrested without resistance about 14 miles away in Exposition Park. Rob Reiner was known for acting and directing; Michele Reiner was a photographer and LGBTQ+ advocate. Several fellow actors issued statements mourning them.
