Ed Buck Biography

Ed Buck is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on August 24, 1954 in Steubenville, Ohio, United States.

Edward Bernard Peter Buck (born Buckmelter, August 24, 1954) is an American businessman, LGBTQ political activist and Democratic political fundraiser. A former model and actor, he made a significant amount of money running and selling the data service company Gopher Courier. He became involved in politics after the election of Evan Mecham as Governor of Arizona in 1986; Buck, an Arizona native, led the effort to recall him from office due to Mecham’s perceived racism and corruption, which ended in Mecham’s impeachment by the Arizona Senate in 1988 on the basis of various charges, including misusing government funds, before a recall election could occur. The experience led Buck to change his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, and he has since donated heavily to Democratic politicians. In 2007, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for the city council of West Hollywood, California.

Buck came out to his parents as gay at the age of 16. He changed his surname from Buckmelter to Buck in 1981 or 1983. He was the Grand Marshal of the 1989 International Gay Rodeo. Buck formerly lived near Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona. He has lived in West Hollywood, California, since 1991.

On July 27, 2017, a young African-American man named Gemmel Moore died in Buck’s apartment. Paramedics found Moore, who had worked as an escort, naked on a mattress in the living room with a “male pornography movie playing on the television”, according to a Los Angeles County coroner’s report. A spokesman for the coroner’s office, Ed Winter, said Buck was inside his Laurel Avenue home at the time of Moore’s death and that drug paraphernalia was recovered from the scene. Police found sex toys, syringes, and “clear plastic bags with suspected methamphetamine in a tool box roll-cabinet in the living room”, 24 syringes with brown residue, five glass pipes with white residue and burn marks, a plastic straw with possible white residue, clear plastic bags with white powdery residue, and a clear plastic bag with a “piece of crystal-like substance”. The death was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and District Attorney Jackie Lacey declined to charge Buck on July 26, 2018.

Since the death of Gemmel Moore, multiple reports have indicated that Buck had a history of luring young, black gay men to his apartment, where he would inject them with crystal methamphetamine for sexual gratification. Jasmyne Cannick, a local writer, activist, and political candidate who investigated Gemmel Moore’s death, predicted on Twitter on July 28, 2018, that any further deaths at Ed’s residence would be the responsibility of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, Jackie Lacey, for failing to bring charges.

Buck led the campaign to impeach Arizona Republican Governor Evan Mecham in 1987 by founding the “Mecham Watchdog Committee”. He announced the campaign on December 21, 1986, before Mecham had even been sworn in, and was the “leader” of a protest on the day of Mecham’s inauguration. In particular, Buck highlighted Mecham’s “opposition to a King holiday, his proposal for voluntary drug testing and his plan to reduce the state police force by up to 300 officers”. Buck distributed bumper stickers that read “Mecham for Ex-Governor”, and Arizona Attorney General Robert K. Corbin ruled that state employees were allowed to use them on their cars. The anti-Mecham campaign “made Buck a household name in Arizona” according to The Arizona Republic. In retaliation, Buck was attacked by Julian Sanders, the chairman of Arizonans for Traditional Family Values, over his homosexuality. Buck switched his registration from Republican to Democrat because of homophobia in 1988.

Buck was arrested on September 17, 2019, and charged with three counts of battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug house, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. He is accused of having injected a 37-year-old man, who overdosed but survived, with methamphetamine on September 11.
