A son of the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has been booked on suspicion of murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, the police said on Monday.

Although there is no evidence that the stabbing deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were at all connected to his Democratic politics, President Trump seized on their deaths to attack the Hollywood couple, suggesting that their criticism of him may have led to the killings.
The president wrote on Truth Social that the couple’s deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”
Trump’s post led to immediate outrage, even from some fellow Republicans. “Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,” Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, wrote on social media. “I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.”

It’s a cold, gray morning in Brentwood outside the Reiners’ home. The police have opened the area that was cordoned off last night, and news media are clogging the street while neighbors walk quickly past, out with their dogs or for morning exercise.

Chief Jim McDonnell took questions at a news conference on Monday morning to announce arrests made by federal authorities in a separate matter.
The Los Angeles police chief said that Nick Reiner was “booked for murder.” He added that the information at this stage was still limited.
Jim McDonnell, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, said that the coroner had officially identified the two people killed in the Reiners’ home as Rob and Michele Reiner.
Nick Reiner, 32, a son of the Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, has spoken over the years about his struggles with drug abuse and bouts of homelessness.
“When I was out there, I could’ve died,” he told People magazine in 2016, speaking about being homeless. “It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it.”
Nick Reiner was arrested late Sunday after his parents were found dead at their California home. The Los Angeles police chief, Jim McDonnell, said on Monday that he had been “booked for murder” and was being held on $4 million bail.
Nick and Rob Reiner had worked together on a movie, “Being Charlie,” that was loosely inspired by the younger Mr. Reiner’s early life. Rob Reiner directed, and Nick Reiner wrote the screenplay alongside Matt Elisofon, whom he met in rehab.
The movie’s release in 2015 signaled a victory lap of sorts for Nick Reiner, who had been in and out of rehab and experienced homelessness since he was about 15. On Monday, he was being held in a jail in Los Angeles County on $4 million bail; no information about any criminal charges was immediately available.
“Being Charlie” follows the entitled, drug-addicted son of a high-profile actor turned political candidate in California. Although it was not autobiographical, Rob Reiner said the experience did a great deal to strengthen his relationship with his son.
“It forced me to have to see more clearly, and understand more deeply, what Nick had gone through,” he said in a joint interview with his son on BUILD, YouTube’s live interview series, in 2016. “And, I think it forced him to see things that I had experienced during this process.”
“It definitely brought us closer together,” Mr. Reiner said. He and Michele Reiner had two other children together: a son, Jake, and a daughter, Romy.
In the interview, Nick Reiner spoke of his childhood relationship with his father. “We didn’t bond a lot,” he said, adding that working on the film with his father had made him “feel closer to him.”
At the time the film was released, Nick Reiner said he had been back home in Los Angeles and was staying clean.
“Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family,” he told People. “But there was a lot of dark years there.”
Rob Reiner had expressed hope that he would work with his son again. Nick Reiner has not compiled any further screenwriting credits.
“Anytime I would get an opportunity to work with him I would do it, but I do understand him wanting to forge his own way,” the director said of his son in a 2016 interview with NPR. “I do know what that’s about, I went through it, and he’s brilliant and talented and he’s going to figure out his path.”
Nick Reiner’s most recent public appearance alongside his father was in September, when the director was photographed with his familyon the red carpet for the premiere of “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.”
Reporting from Los Angeles
The Los Angeles police have not formally announced an arrest. But online jail records show that Nick Reiner was arrested late Sunday and booked into jail on Monday. He is being held on $4 million bail, the records say.
