Shock and sorrow deepened in Los Angeles this week after authorities arrested Nick Reiner following the deaths of his parents, acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.

First, police confirmed that officers found the couple dead inside their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon, December 14, after responding to a medical call around 3:38 p.m. Rob Reiner was 78. Michele Singer Reiner was 68. Investigators immediately secured the property and began a full crime scene investigation.

Then, law enforcement records showed that the couple’s middle son, Nick Reiner, 32, was taken into custody later that day. Officials charged him on Monday and set bail at $4 million. Authorities described the charge as a felony-level offense. They have not released further details, and the investigation remains active.

Nick Reiner has worked in film and previously co-wrote Being Charlie, a project his father directed. The story drew loosely from Nick’s personal struggles and marked a public chapter of honesty within the family.

Meanwhile, the Reiner family released a brief statement. They expressed profound sorrow and asked for privacy as they grieve. Tributes also arrived from across Hollywood and public life. California Governor Gavin Newsom called Rob Reiner a gifted filmmaker and a lifelong advocate for children and civil rights.

For now, the focus remains on facts, family, and respect as the legal process continues.
