Newly-released CCTV footage shows Nick Reiner visiting a gas station moments before his arrest for the alleged murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
In the footage obtained, the 32-year-old screenwriter is seen buying a drink at a gas station shortly before being arrested by police and taken into custody. In the video, Nick is dressed in a green, white and black tracksuit jacket, a black cap and carrying a red backpack.
Further footage obtained by ABC7 Eyewitness News also shows the moment Nick was approached by police and arrested.

An LAPD spokesperson told PEOPLE Nick was arrested near the University of California campus. PEOPLE has confirmed Nick is being held without bail.
On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Nick did not appear at his first court hearing since he has not been medically cleared, his high-profile defense attorney, Alan Jackson, told reporters outside a Los Angeles courthouse.
Later that afternoon, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced at a press conference that Nick will be charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of using a deadly weapon, such as a knife, during the killings. The charges were formally filed shortly thereafter.

Nick, who previously has spoken openly about struggles with addiction and homelessness, beginning in his teens, is one of three children the longtime couple shared.
The night before the killings, Nick, Michele, and Rob all attended a holiday party hosted by Conan O’Brien, where Nick and Rob got into a “big fight,” two sources who were at the party told PEOPLE.
