Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has issued a heartfelt statement following the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner. The couple was found dead in their home on Sunday, victims of an apparent double homicide. Bass called the event a “devastating loss,” emphasizing the couple’s impact on the city and the nation.
The police investigation is currently underway at the couple’s Brentwood home. Reports indicate that they suffered stab wounds and that a family member is being questioned. The LAPD is working to uncover the truth behind the tragedy.
In her statement, Mayor Bass praised Reiner as an “acclaimed actor, director, producer, writer, and engaged political activist.” She noted that he “always used his gifts in service of others,” a sentiment that was echoed by the family of Norman Lear.
Rob and Michele Reiner were partners in activism as well as life. They supported numerous causes and were vocal advocates for justice. Their deaths leave a void in the activist community that will be difficult to fill.
As the city mourns, the investigation continues. The police are gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, hoping to provide answers to a grieving public. The Reiners’ legacy of service and creativity will not be forgotten.
