Nick Reiner Removed From Suicide Watch Ahead of Wednesday Arraignment

He remains in high‑observation housing under solitary monitoring at Twin Towers.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles County sheriff source confirmed he is off suicide watch but still housed alone in High Observation Housing and checked roughly every 15 minutes.
  • Reiner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a multiple-murder special circumstance and a knife allegation, exposing him to life without parole or the death penalty.
  • His arraignment is set for Jan. 7 at 8:30 a.m. at the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Stanley Mosk Courthouse after a Dec. 17 first appearance where the arraignment was delayed.
  • The county medical examiner lists both deaths as homicides caused by multiple sharp-force injuries; autopsies were completed and the bodies were returned to the family on Dec. 19.
  • Police say he was arrested without incident hours after the bodies were found, taken into custody in the Exposition Park area about 14 miles from the Brentwood home.
