What's the allegation against Nick Reiner
According to authorities, Reiner fatally stabbed his parents in a bedroom of their Los Angeles home and then ran away from the scene. Later, he was arrested on the same evening and, since then, has remained in custody without bail.
As per initial findings from the medical examiner, "multiple sharp force injuries" were the cause of death. Prosecutors have turned over most of the evidence to the defense, though the complete autopsy report is still pending.
The motive behind the crime remains unclear.
