Nick Reiner Arrested After Fatal Stabbing of Parents, Hollywood Director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner
Los Angeles, December 2025 — In a shocking and deeply tragic incident, Nick Reiner, 32, the son of renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner and photographer-producer Michele Singer Reiner, has been arrested and charged in connection with the deaths of his parents.
On Sunday afternoon, December 14, emergency responders discovered Rob Reiner (78) and Michele Singer Reiner (70) dead inside their Brentwood, Los Angeles home, with apparent stab wounds. The discovery came after a welfare check by authorities, who were called when the couple failed to respond to contacts from family members.
Their daughter, Romy Reiner, 28, is reported to have found her parents’ bodies and later assisted law enforcement in identifying Nick as a person of interest.
Arrest and Charges
Nick Reiner was arrested Sunday night in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Police Department shortly after the deaths were discovered. He was booked on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, including the alleged use of a deadly weapon.
The charges carry the possibility of life imprisonment without parole or, in extreme cases, the death penalty, though prosecutors have said no final decision has been made on seeking capital punishment.
Nick remains held without bail at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and is awaiting medical clearance before his next court appearance.
Background: A Family Struggling
The Reiner family’s tragedy has layers of loss and earlier struggles behind it. Nick had been open about a long and difficult battle with addiction—a struggle that began in his teenage years, led to periods of homelessness, and inspired the semi-autobiographical 2015 film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote with his father.
Friends and acquaintances have described him as having a troubled history with substance abuse and volatility.
In the hours before the killings, Nick and his father were also seen involved in a heated argument at a holiday party hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien, an interaction that friends said drew concern.
Reactions and Legacy
The deaths of Rob and Michele have elicited an outpouring of grief and tributes across Hollywood and beyond. Rob Reiner was widely respected for his work in film and television—directing beloved classics such as Stand by Me, The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally…—and for his activism and political commentary. Michele was known for her photography and advocacy.
Family members and friends have asked for privacy as the legal process unfolds. The case now moves to the courts, where prosecutors will present evidence and determine the next steps in the prosecution of Nick Reiner.
