   Political activist Ed Buck, who pleaded not guilty last week to   
   federal drug charges in connection with two overdose deaths at   
   his West Hollywood home, faces a tentative trial date of   
   November 26.   
      
   Buck, a wealthy Democratic donor and LGBTQ+ advocate, was first   
   charged in federal court in September after a third alleged   
   overdose victim survived and reported Buck to the police. Buck   
   is also linked to the methamphetamine that led to the 2017   
   overdose death of Gemmel Moore as well as the January 2019 death   
   of Timothy Dean. He also faces three additional counts of   
   distributing methamphetamine.   
      
   Family and activists have long called on local prosecutors to   
   take action against Buck  and heavily criticized Los Angeles   
   County District Attorney Jackie Lacey when she declined to bring   
   homicide charges against Buck in connection with Moore’s death   
   last year. Many have argued that Buck’s status and privilege,   
   coupled with the fact that his purported victims were largely   
   sex workers or homeless, had insulated him from prosecution,   
   according to wehoville.com.   
      
   “My heart aches but we are at that point where we will get   
   justice for my brother,” Dean’s sister Joyce Jackson said,   
   according to the LA Times. “I just want closure … and we are   
   moving in the direction to get closure …. I cannot forgive him.”   
      
   Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon said the deaths could have been   
   avoided if law enforcement has acted sooner.   
      
   “We have been in this fight for a long time. It has been a long   
   time coming,” Nixon said. “I am grateful the feds came in and   
   took this case …. I feel the Dean family’s pain.”   
      
   Federal prosecutors accuse Buck of “targeting vulnerable   
   individuals who were destitute, homeless and/or struggled with   
   drug addiction, in order to exploit the relative wealth and   
   power imbalance between them,” according to wehoville.com.   
      
   According to the indictment, Buck met many of his victims on the   
   dating website Adam4Adam, but he also sometimes used a   
   “recruiter” who “scouted men” on his behalf. The recruiter was   
   not identified or described further in the court documents.   
      
   If convicted in either Moore’s or Dean’s death, Buck faces a   
   minimum of 20 years in federal prison. Buck will remain in   
   custody until his court hearing.
