It was Friday, August 4th, 2017, when Marco Colantonio received an email from Darin Weeks, the publisher of WeHo Daily, a local news outlet in West Hollywood.
Marco had recently launched WeHo Times, a small outlet focusing on local stories, and was immediately suspicious. “I thought that it was a setup,” Marco recounts. “I thought one of my competitors was angry that I was doing news stories in West Hollywood.”
The email was a forwarded plea from LaTisha Nixon, a Texas woman claiming that her son Gemmel Moore had died of a meth overdose a week earlier in the home of Ed Buck, a prominent political figure in West Hollywood. Other news outlets, far larger and more prestigious than Marco’s fledgling project, had already passed on the story. Even if true, the story was a landmine.
To cross Ed Buck was to burn valuable political contacts in Los Angeles, especially West Hollywood. Buck was the prime donor of the Stonewall Democratic Club, the kingmaker of West Hollywood politics, and sat on their Steering Committee deciding resource allocation. He was a major Democratic donor with high profile friends, including some on the West Hollywood City Council.
Marco was dubious of the story but recalled a chance meeting with Ed Buck years prior. After exchanging introductions and walking with Buck to a thrift store, Marco was pulled aside by the store manager Steven Davis, West Hollywood’s Human Services Commissioner. “You’re new in town and seem like a nice guy. That’s Ed Buck and he’s influential in politics. You’re not really his type but be careful, he’s notorious for getting young guys hooked on meth.” After a moment of hesitation, Marco picked up the phone and called LaTisha Nixon.
