He is in the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department. He has been charged with a felony, though officials have not yet announced the exact charges as the investigation continues.
Police were called to the couple’s home Sunday afternoon after a family member discovered the bodies inside the residence. Both Rob and Michele Reiner were pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement sources have confirmed the case is being handled as a double homicide, but investigators have released limited details about the circumstances while evidence is still being reviewed.
