   It’s been 21 days since 26-year-old Gemmel Moore’s body was   
   removed from the West Hollywood apartment of 63-year-old   
   prominent Democratic political donor Ed Buck. Moore was homeless   
   and worked as an escort.   
      
   Because Ed Buck is a white gay man in West Hollywood the police   
   didn’t bother to investigate Moore’s death which was immediately   
   classified as an accidental meth overdose by the Los Angeles   
   County Coroner.   
      
   Shortly after Moore’s death the WeHo Times published a story   
   that quoted Moore’s mother LaTisha Nixon as saying that she   
   didn’t believe it was as cut and dry as the coroner’s office was   
   making it.  She had learned that her son had been doing escort   
   work and that her son’s friend was also engaged in similar   
   activity—and that they had a client in common.   
      
   Speaking to the WeHo Times, Nixon said, “I called one of my   
   son’s friends and was like, ‘who the hell is Edward Buck?’  And   
   my son’s friend was like, ‘oh my God, that’s that white guy,   
   that wealthy white politician guy… he was like ‘oh my God…’   
   When he calmed down, he told me that Ed Buck was one of my son’s   
   clients and that Ed Buck was one of his clients as well.  [Buck]   
   would have my son to go out to… Santa Monica Boulevard looking   
   for young gay black guys so he could inject them with drugs, see   
   their reaction and how [they] would react and take pictures of   
   them.”   
      
   Moore’s own personal journal seemed to corroborate those   
   statements.   
      
   Among Moore’s personal belongings collected by his family from   
   the coroner’s was a journal in which he documents his feelings   
   about the direction of his life and the role of Ed Buck in it.   
      
   In his journal, Moore wrote, “I honestly don’t know what to do.   
   I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that,” a   
   December entry reads. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me   
   my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful, but   
   after all the troubles, I became addicted to the pain and   
   fetish/fantasy.”   
      
   His last entry, dated Dec. 3, 2016 reads: “If it didn’t hurt so   
   bad, I’d kill myself but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.   
      
   In the aftermath of the WeHo Times article and the publishing of   
   Moore’s journal, more victims of Ed Buck have privately come   
   forward recounting similar stories about a man who has a   
   Tuskegee Experiment like fetish and who likes to shoot drugs   
   into young Black men that he picks up off the street or via   
   dating hookup websites like Adam4Adam. The drugs are often times   
   injected into the young men without their permission and while   
   they’re unconscious after having been given GHB (also known as   
   the “date rape” drug).   
      
   Local news showed video surveillance of Moore’s body being   
   removed from Buck’s house as another young man was just   
   arriving. Almost implying that Buck planned to keep on   
   “partying” even after the death of Moore in his house.   
      
      
      
   Buck has since hired a criminal defense attorney who has been   
   selling the idea that his client and Moore were “good friends”   
   and that he’s a kindhearted man.   
      
   Seymour Amster said that while his client was in the apartment   
   when Moore died, he had absolutely nothing to do with his   
   overdose.   
      
   “It is unfortunate that the sheriff’s department is reacting to   
   unsubstantiated allegations,” Amster said. “This is a tragedy,   
   not a crime. He had no involvement in Gemmel Moore’s death.   
   Unfortunately he opened his home to an individual who was   
   troubled.”   
      
   “Whatever Moore did, Mr. Buck was not around when he did it. He   
   was in the apartment in the time of his death. We’re not sure   
   where Mr. Moore took whatever he took to cause the overdose.”   
      
   Buck has given hundreds of thousands of dollars of Democratic   
   causes and candidates over the years. His Facebook page boasts   
   dozens photos of him with everyone from presidential candidate   
   Hillary Clinton to Governor Jerry Brown and even Los Angeles   
   Mayor Eric Garcetti. One look at the list of political   
   contributions from Buck to Democrats and it’s easy to see that   
   while he may have a penchant for young Black men–that liking   
   doesn’t extend to Black politicians of whom only one handful   
   have received donations.   
      
   In online ads soliciting young Black gay men, Buck has referred   
   to them as being a “6 foot nigger.”  On his Facebook page he
