Attorneys for the mother of Gemmel Moore, a 26-year-old man who
died of a methamphetamine overdose at the home of Ed Buck, have
filed an amendment to a wrongful death lawsuit that targets Los
Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and Assistant Head
Deputy Attorney Craig Hum for failing to properly investigate
and charge Buck after Moore’s death in 2017.

Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon, filed the lawsuit after Buck, a
prominent Democratic donor and political activist, was arrested
and charged earlier this month when another man suffered an
overdose at Buck’s West Hollywood apartment.

Nixon’s attorneys filed an amendment that included Lacey and
Hum, who they said violated Moore’s civil rights in their “race-
based refusal to prosecute Ed Buck.”

After her son’s death, Nixon and other activists gathered
evidence against Buck and attempted to pressure Lacey’s office
into filing charges. Buck was not charged at the time, with
prosecutors citing insufficient evidence.

Buck was ultimately charged in connection with Moore’s death
after his arrest earlier this month, more than two years later.

In that time, multiple other men fell victim to Buck’s predatory
behavior, including Timothy Dean, who died of a meth overdose at
Buck’s apartment in January, court documents say.

In naming Lacey and Hum as co-defendants, the lawsuit states:

Even after a second black man’s dead body was recovered from
Edward Buck’s apartment on January 7, 2019, and after LaTisha
Nixon presented the county of Los Angeles with several eye
witness statements by black gay men who had been similarly
forcibly injected with nearly fatal doses of narcotics by Edward
buck, District Attorney Jackie Lacey, and Assistant Head Deputy
District Attorney Craig Hum indicated on several occasions that
they had ignored Black gay men’s criminal complaints about
Edward buck, who has donated generously and consistently to
elected members of the county of Los Angeles, including District
Attorney Jackie Lacey.

Since 2017, Nixon has been openly critical of Lacey for not
prosecuting Buck in the face of what Nixon and other activists
said was overwhelming evidence, including excerpts from Moore’s
journal that said he had become addicted to drugs and “Ed Buck
is the one to thank.”

Moore’s last entry reads, “If it didn’t hurt so bad, I’d kill
myself but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.”

Last week, Nixon spoke out after Buck’s arrest, and again called
out Lacey.

“Jackie Lacey, she dragged her feet,” Nixon said, adding that
she’s grateful federal prosecutors have gotten involved in the
case.

“I haven’t heard from anybody,” Nixon said of federal
prosecutors. “I don’t plan to press them. I plan to let them do
their job, because I trust them a lot more than I do D.A. Jackie
Lacey.”

Part of Nixon’s motivation to target Lacey and Hum comes from
the discrepancies between the County of Los Angeles’ and the
United States’ criminal complaints against Buck.

“The primary discrepancy between these two complaints is that
the County’s criminal suit fails to charge Ed Buck for any of
the crimes he committed against the numerous Black gay victims
that Ms. Nixon presented to County officials over the course of
the County’s prolonged and defective ‘investigation.’ Meanwhile,
the United States’ criminal suit comprehensively charges Ed Buck
for the numerous crimes he committed against nearly all of these
Black gay victims,” attorney Hussain Turk said on Nixon’s
activist website, Justice4Gemmel.org.

The federal complaint includes eight men who provided similarly
harrowing encounters with Buck. The latest alleged victim
survived two overdoses in one week before he escaped Buck’s
apartment and called for help, which led to Buck’s arrest.

Lacey had said witnesses were reluctant or wouldn’t speak to
investigators. Nixon’s attorneys, however, disputed Lacey’s
assertions.

They said they accompanied victims mentioned in the criminal
complaint to interviews with sheriff’s deputies and provided
text messages, photos, videos and receipts of electronic
payments Buck made, the lawsuit states.

“Lacey admitted to having no knowledge whatsoever about the
criminal reports made by [other victims] that were presented to
the County by Ms. Nixon after the death of Mr. Moore,” the
lawsuit reads.

“The County of Los Angeles’s misconduct as alleged herein was
intentional, malicious, willful, wanton, obdurate, and in gross
and reckless disregard of the Constitutional rights of Ms.
Nixon, Mr. Moore.”

Along with general damages to be determined at trial, the
lawsuit seeks an undetermined amount of punitive damages and
attorneys’ fees.
