Authorities in Los Angeles have arrested Robert Reagan, the boyfriend of popular Reality TV lawyer Loredana Nesci, who was found dead in her Redondo Beach home on Wednesday.

51-year-old Reagan is currently held on a $1 million bail as police continue investigations into Nesci's suspicious death. Reagan, who had reportedly been in a fight with the deceased, called the police to report that Nesci is unresponsive.

"They really kept to themselves, but I did hear them having arguments. The house walls are thin around here, but they were very loud," neighbor Adam Gorelick said. "And the arguments were getting frequent, you'd hear a few a week, it wasn't just once in a blue moon, and in the last month it escalated."

When officials arrived at the 1900 block of Nelson Avenue apartment, they found the body of 47-year-old Nesci. Sgt. Fabian Saucedo said the body showed no signs of trauma; neither gunshot nor stab wounds.

However, the couple was heard arguing before Nesci's death. Authorities are currently investigating her death as a homicide.

Reagan and Nesci lived together with their 5-year-old son Rocco. Nesci used to be a Los Angeles police officer before becoming an attorney and a TV personality. Her television show "Loredana, Esq." premiered on the Sundance TV channel last year. Nesci's show ran for just one season and featured her as a mother and a lawyer representing clients based in Southern California.

There has been an outpouring of condolences for Nesci's family and friends following the news of her death.

Lt. Salvatore Nesci, her younger brother, said he received a call about the tragic news. "You know that feeling you get in your stomach when you know something just isn't right? That's the feeling I got," he said. "We've dedicated the majority of our lives to preventing such senseless crimes, and now we find ourselves faced with this type of senseless crime."

Toni Moorhead, Nesci's close friend, described her as very loving mother and person.

Officials with the Redondo Beach Police Department say Reagan is expected to make his first court appearance today, Friday, 24, 2015.
