The Latest: Rob Reiner's son booked for murder over stabbing of director and wife

The 32-year-old son of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner was arrested on suspicion of murder and held without bail Monday in the stabbing deaths of his parents in their Los Angeles home, authorities said.

The case will be given to prosecutors on Tuesday as they consider formal charges against Nick Reiner, who was taken into custody hours after Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead.

Nick Reiner has spoken publicly of his struggles with addiction and homelessness. He and his father collaborated on a semi-autobiographical 2016 film, ''Being Charlie,'' that included elements of their relationship and experience.

Reiner, the son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, had long been one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood whose work included some of the most memorable movies of the 1980s and '90s, including ''This Is Spinal Tap,'' ''A Few Good Men,'' ''When Harry Met Sally'' and ''The Princess Bride.'' Reiner's death led to an outpouring of grief from Hollywood and beyond.

Here's the latest:

The killings shatter Reiner family's legacy

Until Sunday's shocking double killings, few families seemed further from the dark side of life than the Reiners.

It was a dynasty seemingly spared of jealousy, cynicism and rage — and certainly no ambulances, police tape or 911 calls. Carl Reiner was married to his wife, Estelle, for more than 60 years; Rob to his wife, producer and photographer Michele, since 1989. Few would have imagined that ''booked for murder'' would appear in a sentence about any of them.

Tributes to the Reiners pour in, from celebrities to MLB

Artists and sports figures took to social media to share grief and their memories of the Reiners.

Producer, singer and actor Rita Wilson posted on Instagram that it was ''impossible to reconcile the tragedy of their deaths with the beauty they offered the world.''

Author Stephen King said he was ''horrified and saddened.'' Two of his novels, ''Stand by Me'' and ''Misery'' were adapted into movies directed by Reiner.

''Rest in peace, Rob. You always stood by me,'' King said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball also posted condolences, noting that Reiner was a longtime baseball fan.

Journalist Maria Shriver devastated by Reiners' deaths: ‘We raised our kids together'

Maria Shriver, a niece of former President John F. Kennedy and a longtime Democrat, spoke about their relationship.

She said she hopes people remember the couple for their talent, kindness, patriotism and love for their family.

''They loved their kids so much," Shriver said, ''and they never stopped trying to be really good parents.''

Biden lauds the Reiners' ‘extraordinary contributions'

Former President Joe Biden offered condolences in a social media post to those grieving the couple's deaths.

Rob Reiner was one of the most active Democrats in the film industry, regularly campaigning on behalf of liberal causes and hosting fundraisers.

A few Republicans speak out against Trump's post on Reiner

President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Rob Reiner's outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director's killing.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky posted on X that regardless of how one felt about Reiner, ''this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.''

Rep. Mike Lawler of New York said of Trump's post: ''This statement is wrong. Regardless of one's political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son. It's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period.''

And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia posted: ''This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies. Many families deal with a family member with drug addiction and mental health issues. It's incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder.''

Nick Reiner, the younger of Rob Reiner's two sons, spoke publicly of his struggles with addiction. By 18, he had cycled in and out of nine treatment facilities with bouts of homelessness and relapses in between.

Rob Reiner said in a 2016 interview with The Associated Press that ''I maybe didn't handle it the best way. I listened to a lot of people who had a desk and a diploma. I didn't really think about my kid and what he needed.''

Nick and Rob Reiner would collaborate on a semi-autobiographical 2016 film, ''Being Charlie,'' that included elements of their relationship and experience. Rob Reiner directed the movie and Nick Reiner was a cowriter.

''We didn't go into it thinking this is going to be therapeutic or bring us closer, but it did come out that way,'' Rob Reiner told the AP. ''It forced us to understand ourselves better than we had. I told Nick while we were making it, I said, ‘you know it doesn't matter, whatever happens to this thing, we won already. This has already been good.'''

Rob Reiner's son is in custody

The official confirmed that Nick Reiner was in police custody on Monday. The official could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead Sunday at their home.

Online jail records show Reiner was booked by Los Angeles police and remained in jail on Monday. It was not immediately clear what charges he would face. The online records showed a $4 million bail had been set.

Without evidence, Trump blames Reiner's death on his politics

Trump responded to the reported killing of a Hollywood cultural icon and his wife with a striking political attack on the victims.

In a social media post, Trump said without evidence that Rob Reiner's death was due to his opposition to Trump and his policies — in Trump's words, ''the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.''

''I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way shape or form,'' Trump said. ''I thought he was very bad for our country.''

James Woods

Rob Reiner, son of a comedy giant who became one in turn, dies at 78

Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead Sunday at their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed their identities but could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Reiner grew up thinking his father, Carl Reiner, didn't understand him or find him funny. But the younger Reiner would in many ways follow in his father's footsteps, working both in front and behind the camera.

After starting out as a writer for ''The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,'' Reiner's breakthrough came when he was, at age 23, cast in Norman Lear's ''All in the Family.'' But by the 1980s, Reiner began as a feature film director, churning out some of the most beloved films of that, or any, era.
