The exact moment Nick Reiner, the son of legendary director and actor Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, was arrested in connection with his parents' deaths, was captured in photos shared by the Los Angeles Police Department in a since-deleted Instagram post, the New York Post reports.

Reiner, 32, was detained near a Metro station located about 15 miles from his parents' Brentwood, California, home. Multiple photos show Reiner, whose face was blurred out, forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back and pushed against the front of a police squad car.

The caption for the since-deleted Instagram post didn't mention Reiner by name, referring to him only as "a double homicide suspect." The LAPD confirmed that Nick was arrested and "responsible" for his parents' deaths in a news release shared on Monday (December 15).

"It was determined that the Reiners were the victims of homicide," the news release states. "The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible for their deaths. Nick Reiner was located and arrested at approximately 9:15 p.m. He was booked for murder and remains in custody with no bail, under Booking Number 7133668."

The Reiners were reportedly found with their throats slit by their daughter, Romy, who told police that a "dangerous" relative should be the suspect in their deaths, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to TMZ on Monday. Romy reportedly suggested that the incident stemmed from a heated argument.

Nick had publicly acknowledged his issues with drug addition and homelessness in the past. Rob and Michele Reiner were reported to also have stab wounds to multiple other parts of their bodies, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the New York Post.

Reiner, the son of producer, writer and actor Carl Reiner and actress and singer Estelle Reiner, initially gained national prominence playing Mike 'Meathead' Stivic on All in the Family and is credit with numerous acting roles during a career that spanned seven decades. The New York City native made his directorial debut with the heavy metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984) -- having released a sequel earlier this year -- which was followed up by The Sure Thing (1985), Stand By Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally...(1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).
