   LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Not long ago, Ed Buck was rubbing elbows   
   with some of the Democratic party’s biggest stars – donating   
   tens of thousands of dollars to various candidates and causes.   
      
   But now, Buck is under fire from community activists after a   
   second gay black man – identified as 55-year-old Timothy Dean –   
   died in his home in January. People gathered twice last month,   
   chanting outside Buck’s West Hollywood apartment building.

   Leticia Nixon – the mother of Gemmel Moore, who died at Buck’s   
   apartment in July of 2017 of a drug overdose – spoke to the   
   crowd.   
      
   “We shouldn’t even be here. There shouldn’t be a second victim,”   
   she said.   
      
   Before the two deaths at his home, Buck was a well-known   
   activist. Originally from Arizona, he reportedly made around $1   
   million selling a courier company and moved to West Hollywood in   
   the early 90s.   
      
   He’s often referred to as a wealthy donor. CBSLA’s Tom Wait   
   found campaign finance records for federal, state and local   
   donations.   
      
   Buck’s biggest political investment was for more than $300,000   
   to his political action committee called Animal PAC. The   
   organization says it was “formed to represent animal welfare   
   interests throughout California.”   
      
   Buck was a well-known animal rights activist. But he has also   
   donated thousands of dollars to various politicians. Many of the   
   donations were made years before the deaths at his home. In many   
   cases, the money was returned to Buck or donated to charities   
   after Moore’s death.

   Records dating back to 2009 showed Los Angeles Mayor Eric   
   Garcetti was one of Buck’s high-profile recipients, receiving   
   $1,400 in 2016. That money was returned about a month after   
   Moore died.   
      
   Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey received $100   
   from Buck in 2012. Her campaign claims that money was given back   
   in February of 2018.   
      
   He gave former California state Senate leader Kevin De Leon   
   $18,700 over several campaigns. A former staffer says most of   
   that money was donated in January of 2018 to a nonprofit that   
   helps domestic violence survivors.   
      
   Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu took in $19,400 in state and   
   federal donations from Buck. Lieu’s campaign says after the   
   second death at Buck’s home, they donated the contributions they   
   received to various charities.   
      
   Buck gave Adam Schiff, now chairman of the House Permanent   
   Select Committee on Intelligence, $2,700 in 2016. The campaign   
   says the money went to the nonprofit Trevor Project.   
      
   West Hollywood Mayor John Duran received $12,500 from Buck in   
   various campaigns in 2012 to 2016. Without offering specifics,   
   he said most of the money was spent and some was donated to   
   charity.   
      
   “Every candidate and politician sort of has to find their own   
   way,” said California State University Northridge Professor   
   Lawrence Becker.   
      
   Becker says it’s up to the candidates whether or not to return   
   the money. Buck has broken no laws and the donations are   
   perfectly legal.   
      
   “In a case where it’s a legal donation – and it just kind of   
   looks bad or seems unethical or something – no, there’s no   
   roadmap, but the best roadmap I would say is good judgement. It   
   starts to become a lot more murky the further back in time you   
   go,” he said.   
      
   Those donations are just a few of the many thousands of dollars   
   Buck has dolled out over the years.

   candidates.
