Rob Reiner and Wife Michele Found Dead at Los Angeles Home in Apparent Homicide Probe

LAPD homicide detectives say no suspect has been identified pending a warrant-backed search of the Brentwood residence.

Overview

  • Los Angeles Fire Department crews responded around 3:30–3:40 p.m. Sunday and found a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman dead inside the Reiner home, officials said.
  • The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division is leading the investigation, and Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said no one has been detained and detectives are not currently seeking a suspect in the area.
  • Investigators are awaiting a search warrant to conduct a full interior crime-scene examination, with identification and determinations of cause and manner of death left to the coroner.
  • Multiple outlets report injuries consistent with a knife attack, though authorities have not released an official cause of death.
  • Media accounts say a family member, widely identified as son Nick Reiner, is being questioned; an AFP report of an arrest and charges conflicts with LAPD statements and remains unconfirmed.
