   LaTisha Nixon never thought she would be back to 1234 N. Laurel   
   Avenue.   
      
   Her 26-year-old son, Gemmel Moore, died at this West Hollywood   
   apartment building two years ago. An LA County coroner's report   
   determined that Moore died of an accidental drug overdose; the   
   crystal meth that killed him was injected into his body.   
      
   The apartment unit where Moore died belongs to Edward Buck, a   
   well-known LGBTQ activist in West Hollywood and Democratic party   
   donor.   
      
   Two years later, no one has been charged in Moore’s death,   
   something that Nixon says she cannot let go.   
      
   “I want them to do their job,” Nixon says, flanked by about two   
   dozen friends, community members, and civil rights activists   
   last weekend. Her voice is quivering as she battles back tears.   
      
   “I want them to look at the evidence and prosecute Ed Buck,”   
   Nixon says. She's referring to the attorneys inside the LA   
   County District Attorney’s Office.   
      
   They looked at the circumstances surrounding Moore’s death and   
   determined in 2018 that there was insufficient evidence to   
   charge Buck with a crime.   
      
   But the national spotlight began shining on Buck again earlier   
   this year when another man, 55-year-old Timothy Dean, died at   
   his apartment under similar circumstances. He also overdosed on   
   methamphetamines.   
      
   “We just hear the same tired excuse - that they don't have   
   enough,” says Hussain Turk, an attorney representing Moore’s   
   family. “Their policy is not caring about the [black and queer]   
   community, and it's caused the deaths of not one but two… and it   
   could likely cause the death of a third if an arrest isn’t made.”   
      
   There is an ongoing investigation into Dean’s death. The LA   
   County Sheriff’s Department delivered evidence to the District   
   Attorney’s Office in early July. Attorneys for the county have   
   since asked for the sheriff’s department to do more   
   investigating, including additional forensic analysis,   
   interviewing more people, and reviewing medical records, says   
   Greg Risling, Public Information Officer at the District   
   Attorney's Office.   
      
   But Turk says he believes there already is enough evidence for   
   charges to be filed. He says he recently took a client, whom he   
   did not name to protect his privacy, to the LA County Sheriff’s   
   Department station in West Hollywood, who had a similar   
   experience with Ed Buck.   
      
   “He connected with Ed Buck [who] told him that he would hook him   
   up with a hotel for a couple nights and give him some money if   
   he came over to hang out,” Turk says.   
      
   “He had an extremely harrowing experience when he came over to   
   Buck's apartment. He was pressured to do drugs that he had never   
   done before, namely crystal meth.”   
      
   Amid the calls for Buck's prosecution, his attorney has   
   maintained his innocence.   
      
   “In spite of all of this, these two individuals were his   
   friends” says Seymour Amster, Buck’s attorney. “He does have   
   sorrow for that… but he doesn’t understand why he has become   
   such a target. He would like to live in peace.”   
      
   Amster says that he continues to fight the wrongful death   
   lawsuit filed against his client and the County of Los Angeles,   
   among others.   
      
   The next hearing in that case is scheduled for this September.
