The Los Angeles Homicide Bureau is being asked to gather more
evidence in the suspicious overdose deaths of two black gay men.
Democratic megadonor Ed Buck will remain free, at least for now.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has returned
the case against the high-profile West Hollywood resident to the
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, asking the homicide
bureau to gather more evidence in the suspicious overdose deaths
of two black gay menOpens in New Window.
In January, 55-year-old Timothy Dean died from methamphetamine
and alcohol poisoning at the West Laurel Avenue apartment.
Dean’s death followed the July 2017 methamphetamine overdose of
26-year-old Gemmel Moore at the same address.
Lacey previously declined to press charges against Buck for
Moore’s death, sparking protest from Moore’s family and
community activists. After Dean died, the Sheriff’s Department
began looking into both deaths, however.
For years, Buck has faced allegations of drugging young black
men for sexual pleasure. Residents claim his political
donations, which include two to Lacey ($100 in 2012Opens in New
Window and 2018Opens in New Window, respectively) have
historically protected him. Dean’s death rocked the two-mile
gayborhood of West Hollywood.
Shiara Davila-Morales, a spokesperson for Lacey’s Office,
however, says in a statement to NewNowNext that the Dean
investigation was returned, making no mention of the status of
the Moore investigation.
“On July 9, our office asked for further investigation that
includes forensic analysis, interviewing additional people and
reviewing medical records,” Davila-Morales says.
Lisa Belsanti, a spokesperson for the City of West Hollywood,
says her office has limited information on why Lacey’s office
returned that case, but notes that both cases have been sent to
the District Attorney.
“The Supervising Lieutenant from the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department, Homicide Bureau, says the case involving
the deaths of Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean at the West
Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck has been presented to the Los
Angeles County District Attorney’s Office,” Belsanti tells
NewNowNext.
Belsanti was unable to provide clarification on the status of
the Moore case by publication.
Quilmes Rodriguez, the lead detective on the Dean case, says his
unit is searching for an additional witness and seeking more lab
results before giving the case back to the District Attorney.
Rodriguez previously reported that Buck had not cooperated with
investigators.
“He was detained for several hours and we attempted to interview
him, but he refused to speak with us and invoked his right to
remain silent,” says Rodriguez.
More than eight witnesses were furnished to detectives who
claimed Buck drugged them or they observed Buck drugging men in
the West Hollywood home, according to Nana Gyamfi, an attorney
for Dean and Moore’s families.
“The whole thing is just preposterous,” says Gyamfi. “I don’t
know how many people you need to establish a pattern [for] what
is clear and apparent.”
In March, the LA County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner
ruled Dean’s death an accidental overdoseOpens in New Window.
Dean was found on a mattress littered with drug paraphernalia
and sex toys on Buck’s floor on January 7, according to an
autopsy.
That report noted that Buck waited 15 minutes after finding an
unresponsive Dean before calling 911. Buck reported that he
tried to perform CPR on Dean. He told authorities that Dean
acted bizarrely upon arrival.
“[Buck], the witness, observed [Dean] using a piece of clothing
to make a noose and tied it around his neck,” the autopsy states.
Detectives noted that they didn’t find anything resembling a
noose at the home that night.
Moore’s mother LaTisha Nixon is pursuing a wrongful death
lawsuitOpens in New Window against Buck and Lacey. The case
accuses Buck of human trafficking and revenge porn.
According to Moore’s family, the 26-year-old wrote in his
journalOpens in New Window that Buck was “to thank” for his drug
addiction.
“I just hope the end result isn’t death,” Moore reportedly
wrote. “If it didn’t hurt so bad I’d kill myself, but I’ll let
Ed Buck do it for now.”
Dean’s friend’s similarly claimed that Dean, who knew Buck for
years, feared the political donor. According to The Daily
BeastOpens in New Window, Dean told friends that Buck was the
“fucking devil.”
But Buck’s Attorney Seymour Amster has steadfastly claimed his
client’s innocenceOpens in New Window, stating that both men
arrived at Buck’s already intoxicated on the night of their
deaths. Amster did not respond to NewNowNext’s request to
comment for this story.
In February, activists delivered more than 30,000 signatures to
Lacey calling for Buck’s arrest.
