According to a statement released on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were allegedly killed by their son, Nick Reiner, in the early morning hours of December 14 at their Los Angeles home.
The press release said, "In approximately the early morning hours of December 14, Reiner is accused of fatally stabbing Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, at their home in the 200 block of South Chadbourne Avenue in Brentwood," the statement reads.

Hochman did not confirm an exact time of death for Rob or Michele, saying, "I’m sorry we don't have that kind of specificity yet.”
He added, "We’re waiting on the coroner to be able to try and determine as best they can at this point time of death."
