Pittsburgh, PA, August 13, 2026 —
Nick Reiner, the son of actor and director Rob Reiner, has entered a plea of not guilty to murder charges in Los Angeles. The plea follows the unsealing of a grand jury indictment that supersedes previous charges filed against him.
The indictment alleges that Reiner engaged in “lying in wait” before fatally stabbing his parents, identified as Rob and Michele Reiner. The incident reportedly occurred at their residence in the Brentwood neighborhood in December 2025.
Reiner is currently being held in custody without the possibility of bail. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of life imprisonment without the chance of parole, or the death penalty.
A pretrial hearing in the case has been scheduled for September 15.
