Nick Reiner has been indicted on new murder charges for the December 2025 killings of his parents, Nick and Michele Reiner.
The indictment, filed on July 20 and unsealed on Wednesday, includes the allegation of “lying in wait,” a special circumstance that makes life without parole or the death penalty eligible at sentencing, according to the documents obtained by Page Six.
Nick is also being accused of using a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife, in the indictment.
The 32-year-old pleaded not guilty to the new charges in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday.
The indictment allows prosecutors to avoid a preliminary hearing, where evidence would be shown, and skip right to a trial.
“This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said in a statement.
“The indictment unsealed today also adds a special circumstance allegation that the defendant committed the murders by means of lying in wait. We hope that by having a grand jury return an indictment in this case it will bring us one step closer to a trial and achieving justice.”
Nick was arrested on Dec. 14, 2025 and accused of killing Rob and Michele at their Los Angeles home, which is located in the Brentwood area. Rob was 78 and Michele was 70, respectively.
He was initially hit with two separate charges for first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty at a February court hearing.
Nick has been behind bars at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in LA.
