SITREP: Illegal Biological Laboratory Discovered in Las Vegas Residence with Biological Material with suspected intent to Spread
Linked to Prior California Case – Over 1,000 Samples Collected for Testing
On Saturday, January 31, 2026, a joint LVMPD SWAT, FBI, Hazmat, and other agencies executed a search warrant at a residence on Sugar Springs Drive in Northeast Las Vegas (near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard). A second nearby location (Temple View Drive) was also searched.
Refrigerators containing unknown liquids and vials of suspected biological material were found inside the residence, prompting an aggressive response from HazMat teams, SWAT units, and FBI specialists due to the potential threat presented by the materials, The Hill reported.
At least one individual was taken into custody in connection with the Las Vegas raid, identified by local officials as a 55-year-old property manager, Ori Solomon.
He is currently booked on felony charges linked to the improper disposal of hazardous waste, though investigators continue to determine the full scope of charges that may arise.
Property records reveal that the Las Vegas home is owned by “David Destiny Discovery, LLC,” according to The Sun.
If that name sounds familiar, it should. It is a shell company registered to Jia Bei Zhu (also known as David He), the very same Chinese national who ran the illegal Reedley, California biolab exposed in 2023.
Zhu, a fugitive from Canada with deep ties to the Chinese government, is currently in federal custody.
