   The family of Gemmel Moore's are more than certain Ed Buck had a   
   large role in his death.   
   The harrowing makings of the story of Gemmel Moore seem to come   
   right off the pages of a script from Law & Order: Special   
   Victims Unit.   
      
   An escort befriends a wealthy white Democratic donor with a   
   suspected fetish for watching vulnerable gay black men get high,   
   with the escort found dead in the donor's home. Instead of a   
   happy ending filled with social justice, Moore's family has been   
   left to crack the case themselves.   
      
   Moore's story and Ed Buck's role in it have been profusely told   
   by journalist and political commentator Jasmyne Cannick and most   
   recently, The Root's Michael Harriot. Moore died of a suspected   
   methamphetamine overdose in July at Buck's home in West   
   Hollywood, Calif. Buck, a silent force in politics and the LGBTQ   
   community, has clout in political circles thanks to his   
   donations to his Democratic peers. He also reportedly has a   
   relationship with drugs and paying gay black men to accompany   
   him.   
      
   Thanks to Moore's friends, texts and photos support their claims   
   of Buck's lingering fetish and alleged search for insecure gay   
   youth. In August, Cannick published images of Gemmel's journal   
   with painful revelations about Buck's influence over him. The 26-   
   year-old said he was pressured to do meth for the first time as   
   soon as he met Buck and feared for his life.   
      
   "I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worse [sic] one at that,"   
   one entry reads. "Ed Buck is the one to thank, he gave me my   
   first injection of meth. It was very painful but after all the   
   troubles I became addicted to the pain and fetish/fantasy. … I   
   just hope the end result isn’t death. … If it didn’t hurt so bad   
   I’d kill myself but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.”   
      
   Despite the overwhelming amount of evidence (another man with   
   Buck as his client was turned away by the police with his   
   claims), Buck hasn't been arrested or label as a suspect in the   
   case. Instead, he's accused the victim's family and reporters as   
   assassination against his character.   
      
   "Ed had nothing to do with his [Moore's] death," his lawyer   
   Seymous I. Amster told the LA Times in September. "Ed is a   
   caring soul who allows individuals to have access to his home   
   who are homeless or who have other social or economic issues, to   
   give them a place to wash up in a safe environment.   
   Unfortunately, many of these individuals come in with their   
   lifestyles." When it comes to Buck's alleged drug use, Amster   
   said, "I don't think his personal lifestyle is the issue. I'm   
   not going to accept an invitation to go into the private aspects   
   of his life. This was a tragedy and that's all it was."   
      
   Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon has launched Justice4Gemmel, an   
   organization dedicated to bringing justice for her son and other   
   men targeted by Buck. In October, footage of a community   
   gathering for Gemmel was uploaded to YouTube with friends   
   sharing stories about him. Nixon shared her close relationship   
   with her son and how he would open up to her about Buck. "I just   
   want everybody to know it's about justice for Gemmel," she said.   
   "I want this to come to light. I'm not going to give up on this.   
   His life mattered."   
      
      
   His roommate and close friend Samuel Lloyd also shared how   
   Gemmel's life turned upside down when he met Buck. "This man   
   went out there searching for other men who were struggling and   
   in the streets and who had no money, who never experienced drugs   
   before," he said. "This is the type of guys Ed Buck searched   
   for. Gemmel was scared of this man. He laid in my arms and was   
   scared that this man was going to kill him."   
      
      
   The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department released a vague statement   
   about the case after it gained traction on social media with the   
   hashtag, #JusticeforGemmel.   
      
   "In an abundance of caution, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department   
   Homicide Bureau has assigned several investigators to review the   
   circumstances of the death to determine if any criminal   
   culpability exists."   
      
   Immunity has also been granted to those willing to speak about   
   their interactions with Buck.   
      
   Supporters are encouraged to contact Deputy District Attorney   
   Craig Hum and LAPD Det. Ralph Hernandez to demand justice.
