Nick Reiner has spoken openly about his drug addiction battles in the past, revealing that he first went to rehab at age 15. Police have not publicly speculated on a motive for the attack.
“I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun,” Nick told People magazine in 2016. He said he’d been refusing his parents’ requests to go back to rehab. “If I wanted to do it my way and not go to the programs they were suggesting, then I had to be homeless.”
