The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is taking a first look at the July 27 death of Gemmel Moore. I said first look, rather second or closer look, because Moore, 26, was a Black gay male escort who was found dead on July 27 in prominent Democratic donor Ed Buck’s West Hollywood apartment. Buck is white and so the cause of death was immediately explained away and classified as an accidental meth overdose by the Los Angeles County Coroner.  It was only when excerpts from Moore’s personal journal were published as well as various accounts from additional victims did the sheriff’s department decide–albeit weeks too late and most likely after any and all evidence is Buck’s apartment has been removed–to reexamine his death.

In his journal, Moore wrote, “I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that,” a December entry reads. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful, but after all the troubles, I became addicted to the pain and fetish/fantasy.”http://www.jasmyneacannick.com/after-gemmel-moores-death-new-victim...
