Buck is accused of injecting the man with methamphetamine at his West Hollywood apartment on September 11, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Both Moore and another man found dead at Buck's house, Timothy Dean, were black.The lawsuit accuses him of wrongful death, sexual battery and assault and says he was not prosecuted"because he is white, and because Mr. Moore was Black."After the lawsuit was filed, Amster responded on Buck's behalf.
