The night before the killings, Nick, Michelle, 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.
"Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous," one of the sources shared.
Rob and Michele married in 1989, and had three children together: Jake, Nick, and Romy. Prior to marrying Michele, Rob was married to Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981. During their marriage, Rob adopted her daughter, Tracy.
Nick has previously spoken out about his struggles with addiction and homelessness, starting in his teens. Rob and Michele’s middle child told PEOPLE in 2016 that he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15. As his addiction escalated, Nick said he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches of time living unhoused in multiple states.
