Filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death at their Los Angeles home on Sunday.

The couple’s family said in a statement via Variety: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

On Sunday, Dec. 14, at about 3:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was called to a home to provide medical aid, the LAFD told PEOPLE. Upon arrival, they found a man, 78, and a woman, 68, dead. Sources confirm the victims were Rob and Michele. According to the LAPD, the deaths are being investigated as a homicide and as of press time no arrests have been announced yet.

At a press conference held by the LAPD on Sunday night (as reported on by Deadline), Deputy Chief Alan S. Hamilton stated that the LAPD “is currently conducting an ongoing homicide investigation into the two deaths at Rob Reiner’s Brentwood home.” Hamilton added that the LAPD “has not identified a suspect at this time” and is not pursuing any persons of interest. The press conference did, however, confirm that the couple were found dead “from apparent stab wounds.”

Reiner, the son of director/comedian Carl Reiner, was first know for his role as Michael “Meathead” Stivic, on the CBS sitcom ‘All in the Family,’ where he won Emmys as best supporting actor in a comedy in 1974 and 1978. Reiner went on to become an acclaimed director, with some of his most notable work including “This Is Spinal Tap,” “Stand By Me,” “The Princess Bride,” “A Few Good Men,” “Misery,” and “When Harry Met Sally…”.

Rob and Michele met when Rob directed When Harry Met Sally…  and the couple married in 1989; they share three children.
