   first case. The deaths sparked protests from activists who   
   complained authorities are not doing enough.   
      
   Los Angeles County coroner’s officials had concluded that Moore   
   died from an accidental methamphetamine overdose in Buck’s   
   apartment, which was littered with drug paraphernalia,   
      
   including 24 hypodermic needles and five glass pipes, as well as   
   *** toys. Paramedics found Moore n**** on a mattress in the   
   living room, the coroner’s report said.   
      
   They ruled Moore’s death an accident, and an initial review by   
   sheriff’s deputies found nothing suspicious. But in August 2017,   
   homicide detectives launched a new investigation after Moore’s   
   mother and friends questioned whether the drugs that killed him   
   were self-administered.   
      
   A notebook found in Moore’s possession indicated he used drugs   
   with someone whose name is redacted in the coroner’s report. The   
   Times has reviewed pages of that journal, in which Moore   
   purportedly wrote about using crystal methamphetamine.   
      
   “Ed Buck is the one to thank,” Moore appears to have written.   
   “He gave me my first injection of chrystal [sic] meth.”   
      
   Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon of Texas, has questioned whether   
   Buck’s ties to elected officials and differences in race and   
   class influenced the investigation. Buck, who is 65 and white,   
   is a longtime political donor, onetime West Hollywood City   
   Council candidate and a well-known figure in LGBTQ political   
   circles. Moore had been homeless and had worked as an escort.   
      
   In February, Nixon filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Buck,   
   alleging he was a drug dealer who injected her son with a fatal   
   dose of crystal methamphetamine.   
      
   “If the dead body of a blond-haired, blue-eyed white man was   
   found in the home of an older black man, he’d be lucky to even   
   make it to the police station alive,” Hussain Turk, an attorney   
   for Nixon, said in a statement at the time of the lawsuit’s   
   filing.   
      
   About 9 p.m. Tuesday, about a dozen onlookers gathered across   
   the street from Buck’s apartment building, as police redirected   
   cars on the blocked street. It was a quiet scene, with no   
   protest chants or signs.   
      
   “Today is like a celebration for us,” said Jasmyne Cannick as   
   she spoke to those gathered.   
      
   Cannick, a political consultant and spokeswoman for Moore’s   
   mother, said she was giving a speech in Leimert Park on Tuesday   
   evening when she started getting calls from Buck’s neighbors   
   saying he was being arrested.   
      
   She pulled up to Buck’s West Hollywood apartment building just   
   as a police car was driving away.   
      
   Cannick has said she believed Buck got special treatment because   
   of his political activism and fundraising for Democratic   
   candidates, a charge officials have denied, and because he was   
   white and Moore and Dean were black.   
      
   “I feel vindicated for all the people who said it was never   
   going to happen,” she said. “I feel really good for all the   
   young men he took advantage of because they didn’t feel like   
   anyone took them seriously, like their lives weren’t important   
   enough for anyone to really care about.”   
      
   Cannick said she called Moore’s mother and Dean’s sister to tell   
   them about the arrest, and “we were all crying.”   
      
   “We’re just completely ecstatic,” she said. “Black gay men’s   
   lives matter. The whole black LGBT community is going to be   
   celebrating this evening because our lives matter, and people   
   need to know that. Even if we’re *** workers, even if we’re on   
   drugs, even if we’re homeless, we’re still part of the black   
   community, still part of the LGBT community.”   
      
   Yellow police tape blocked the entrance to Buck’s apartment in   
   the 1200 block of North Laurel Avenue. Buck’s neighbors from the   
   building stood outside, watching the scene unfold.   
      
   “I heard loud noises of police, like it was someone fighting,   
   and usually our neighbors don’t fight,” said Celina Salazar, who   
   was there as he was arrested.   
      
   Her partner, Caroline Serra, was parking in the underground   
   garage after shopping for groceries when she exited the front   
   garage gate and was confronted by police who told her to avoid   
   the building.   
      
   “Then I came out and saw Ed Buck in handcuffs,” Serra said.
