Back to EpisodesMother Wins $2M in Ed Buck Overdose Case
Description
A federal jury in West Hollywood has awarded two million dollars to Gemmel Moores mother in a wrongful death lawsuit against Ed Buck. The verdict holds Buck accountable for Moores overdose death at his apartment. Buck was convicted in 2021 on nine felony counts linked to the overdose deaths of Moore and another man. LaTisha Nixon, Moores mother, calls the ruling a source of closure after eight years of fighting. An attorney for the family noted it sends a strong message about responsibility for deadly drug use in private settings. Victims rights advocate Jasmyne Cannick praised the outcome as justice not just for this family but for others harmed similarly. Bucks team plans to appeal, but Nixon sees this as the win she needed, even as he serves a thirty-year federal prison sentence from 2022.
