Another Black man has been found dead at the home of wealthy Democratic donor Ed Buck.
Authorities were on the scene to investigate at around 3:35 a.m. on Monday morning, according to WeHoville.
The deceased manās name has not been released.
This incident marks the second time a Black gay man has died in Buckās home. Gemmel Moore died of a suspected overdose in July 2017, as Blavity previously reported. Mooreās friends and family accused Buck of drugging young Black gay men for his sexual amusement.
ā[Buck] would have my son to go out to ā¦ Santa Monica Boulevard looking for young gay black guys so he could inject them with drugs, see their reaction and how [they] would react and take pictures of them,ā Mooreās mother, LaTisha Nixon, said of Buck in 2017. She said she got that information from one of Mooreās associates.
John Bice, another friend, validated Nixonās story and described how Buck preyed on vulnerable people.
āBasically this guy would find young struggling black guys around town, pick them up and say he was going to help them out ā make sure they had clothes and food. ā¦ He wanted to see them get high, first with weed. Then one day, the guy wanted him to shoot up,ā Bice said.
The Advocate reports Buck was never charged for the 26-year-oldās death because evidence was āinsufficient to prove [guilt] beyond a reasonable doubt,ā according to the Los Angeles DA office.
Buck is known for donating to major Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton and West Hollywood City Council members John DāAmico and Lindsey Horvath. He has never publicly commented on Moore, but his lawyer called the young manās death āaccidentalā and āunfortunate.ā
Communications strategist Jasmyne Cannick announced plans for a rally at Buckās home on Monday evening at 7 p.m. on Twitter.
There will be a call to action at 7P today in front of Ed Bucks home at 1234 Laurel Avenue in West Hollywood re the death/murder of ANOTHER Black man at Ed Bucks.
CannickĀ mentionedĀ Moore in an op-ed about her campaign to be a delegate for Californiaās Democratic party. She believes the party is in the midst of a morality crisis.
āThatās not the kind of political party I want to belong to. One that sees the lives of Black people as being expendable. As Black Democrats, that is not the type of return we expect on our years of investing in the Democratic Party with our votes,ā she wrote. āIf Gemmel Moore had been a white male or female ā I seriously doubt the Party leadership would have been able to sweep it under the rug the way they so carelessly and deliberately did.ā
