Hollywood is shocked by the death of director Rob Reiner and his wife. Their 32-year-old son Nick Rainer, who was treated for drug addiction for a long time, was arrested on suspicion of their murder, about which he and his father made their own film.

The Washington Post: Rob Reiner's son arrested on suspicion of murdering his parents
Los Angeles police have announced the arrest of the 32-year-old son of film director Rob Reiner and photographer Michelle Singer Reiner on suspicion of murdering his parents.

"As a result of the initial investigation, it was established that the Rainer couple were victims of murder. The investigation also revealed that Nick Reiner is responsible for their deaths," the Los Angeles Police Department said in a press release. The case is handled by the robbery and homicide Investigation department. On Tuesday, it will be submitted to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office for consideration of whether to open a criminal case.
The entertainment industry is shocked by the news of the death of the Rainers. The director's star has an improvised memorial on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where fans laid flowers and lit candles. In addition to Nick, the couple had a son, Jake, and a daughter, Romy. Reiner, who was previously married to actress and director Penny Marshall, was also the adoptive father of her daughter Tracey Reiner.
NBC News: Rainer's son caused concern among guests at the party before the murder
Nick Reiner was defiant at a holiday party on Saturday with his parents just hours before they were found dead in Los Angeles, according to two sources familiar with the situation. By his behavior, he made the other guests feel uncomfortable, one of the eyewitnesses said. Another person said that Rainer's parents were upset and embarrassed by their son's behavior at the party and expressed concern about his health.

The death of legendary actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner shocked Hollywood, where the family was universally loved. But the family's problems with their youngest son Nick were also well known, especially his struggle with drug addiction. According to one source, 32-year-old Nick Reiner periodically lived at their home in Brentwood.
Nick Reiner openly talked about his experience of rehabilitation and treatment for drug addiction, which he began at the age of 15. In 2015, Rob and Nick Reiner teamed up to work on the film Being Charlie, which was directed by Rob and Nick co-wrote the screenplay. This drama, inspired by Nick's experience, tells the story of a potential governor's son suffering from drug addiction.
Associated Press: Rob and Nick Reiner shot a movie together
Ten years before Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and charged with murdering his parents, he and his father Rob Reiner forged a relationship after his son's long struggle with drug addiction as a teenager. They made the movie "Being Charlie" together, which incorporated elements of their story. In a series of interviews, Nick Reiner, recalling his youth with his father, agreed that working on the film brought them closer.

Rainer was thinking of making a film about such a strained father-son relationship. He did not know that Nick and Matt Elisofon, a friend he had met in rehab, were working on a script for an alleged TV comedy about rehab. Under the direction of Rob Reiner, the project turned into a small full-length drama.
This film is Nick Reiner's only film work. Before and after the release of the film, he led a mostly secluded lifestyle, leaving almost no trace in public life. Court records do not show any previous criminal cases against him in Los Angeles County.
The New York Times: Trump cited criticism of himself as the reason for Rainer's murder
US President Donald Trump took advantage of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife to bring charges against the Hollywood director less than a day after reports of their deaths, suggesting that Reiner's criticism of Trump could have caused his murder.
The New York Times
On Monday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Reiner's death "presumably occurred because of the anger he caused others due to his severe, ongoing, and incurable mind-numbing illness known as Trump Syndrome." Later that day, when asked by reporters if he supported his previous statements, Trump did not apologize: "Well, I was not a fan of his at all. He was a deranged man." He added: "I thought he was very harmful to our country."
The attacks on Reiner, which occurred shortly after his death, sparked a rare wave of criticism of the president from some Republicans who support the MAGA movement, some of whom called on the president to withdraw his comments. Trump's words caused immediate outrage, including due to the fact that they undermine Republican calls for courtesy after the murder of activist Charlie Kirk.
The Guardian: Los Angeles mourns Rob Reiner
Los Angeles residents are mourning the death of beloved Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. The news of the alleged murder of the director who directed the films "When Harry Met Sally," "Misery," "Stay with Me," "The Princess Bride," and "This is Spinal Tap!" shocked the entire Los Angeles area, from the affluent Brentwood neighborhood, where he and his wife were found dead, to Hollywood Boulevard.
The Guardian
At Rob Reiner's star on the Walk of Fame in the heart of Hollywood, some fans came over to pay their respects. "This is what I can do to express my sorrow and honor everything he achieved and everything he meant to my generation and to other generations," said Stephanie Bowyer, a history professor who lives 15 minutes by bus from Reiner's star on Hollywood Boulevard. Bower brought a pink bouquet and said that this news had shaken her up a lot.
Bowyer said she was touched by the news that Reiner met his wife on the set of "When Harry Met Sally," and that it was his love for her that inspired him to change the ending of the film. She said it was difficult for her to accept that his son had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
