Additional footage obtained by The New York Post captured the moment Reiner raised his hands in surrender as two patrol cars pulled up around 9:15 p.m. Seconds later, more police units flooded the scene, with officers exiting their vehicles and holding Reiner at gunpoint.
Forced to the ground
He was forced to the ground and handcuffed on the pavement, according to separate photos — since deleted — previously shared by the LAPD’s Gang and Narcotics Unit. Reiner appeared to be wearing the same clothing seen in the gas station footage.
District attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement: “Rob Reiner was a brilliant actor and director, an iconic force in our entertainment industry for decades. His wife, Michele Singer Reiner, was an equally iconic photographer and producer.
“Their loss is beyond tragic. We will commit ourselves to bringing their murderer to justice.”
Hochman said the charges brought against Nick carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, or even the death penalty.
He added that ‘no decision’ has been made over the death penalty yet.
