Democratic Party donor and political activist Ed Buck has been found guilty on nine felonies, including running a drug house and injecting two gay Black men with methamphetamine who then died of an overdose. Twenty-six-year-old Gemmel Moore died in 2017, and 55-year-old Timothy Dean died in 2019. Buck was arrested two years ago after a third man overdosed on methamphetamine at his apartment. That man survived. Black LGBTQ+ activists and the family members of the men who died had for months been calling on prosecutors to file criminal charges against Buck, accusing him of being a sexual predator. Buck faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison, with a maximum life sentence.
