Residents of Brentwood are in a state of profound shock after the bodies of Rob and Michele Reiner were found in their home. The couple was discovered on Sunday afternoon with apparent stab wounds. Police are investigating the deaths as a homicide and are questioning a family member. The incident has unsettled the quiet, affluent neighborhood, which is unaccustomed to such violence.
The police response began around 3:30 p.m. after firefighters found the bodies. The property was quickly cordoned off, and detectives from the Robbery Homicide Division began their work.

Mayor Karen Bass and the Lear family have issued statements expressing their sorrow. They highlighted the couple’s contributions to the city and the country. Bass called the deaths a “devastating loss.” The investigation is ongoing, and the police are working to determine the facts of the case.
As the police continue their work, the community is coming together to mourn the loss of their neighbors. The Reiners will be missed not just as celebrities, but as friends and community members. The shock of their deaths will take a long time to fade from the streets of Brentwood.
