Two years after her son Gemmel Moore died in the West Hollywood apartment of Democratic donor Ed Buck, LaTisha Nixon said Los Angeles County prosecutors ignored her pleas to investigate and did not communicate with her.
Democratic donor Ed Buck’s arrest, long sought by activists, sparks questions of why the process took so long.The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revisited the case, and, in 2018, investigators asked prosecutors to consider four charges in Moore’s death: murder, voluntary manslaughter, and furnishing and possessing drugs. Lacey declined to file a case, citing insufficient evidence.
Buck was arrested at the apartment last Tuesday night, less than a week after a man fled his home fearing he was suffering a methamphetamine overdose, prosecutors said. Buck tried to prevent him from getting medical attention, authorities said. The man, referred to in court documents as Joe Doe, was able to get to a gas station and call 911 after the Sept. 11 incident, which investigators have said was key to bringing charges against Buck.
This week, Buck was issued a notice from lawyers for his apartment’s property owners to leave the premises within three days.In a Sept. 23 letter, the Valley Village law firm of Dennis P. Block & Associates told Buck his lease was terminated because of his “indecent, offensive, harassing and annoying” conduct, including the discovery of drugs and the deaths of two people.
Nixon said she has felt like authorities did not take her seriously when she said she worried there would be more men to overdose in Buck’s home. She said she is grateful that Joe Doe did not die there.
