"Newly released footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shows a dramatic hazmat response as agents hauled bags of medical tubing, vials and containers filled with unknown liquids from the suburban property. During a press briefing on Monday, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill revealed investigators discovered a 'significant volume of material' stored in refrigerators and freezers throughout the home, including vials and containers holding liquids of varying colors and compositions."
"Investigators also located 'pathogen-labeled containers' with labels such as 'dengue fever,' ' HIV,' and 'malaria,' the report said, along with 1,000 mice. There have been reports that other labels showed 'COVID' and ' Ebola.' More than 1,000 samples were collected and sent for testing, according to Christopher Delzotto, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Las Vegas field office."
"Authorities arrested 55-year-old Ori Solomon, identified as the property manager for the Sugar Springs Drive residence and a nearby home on Temple View. Both properties were searched as part of the investigation. Delzotto said the initial search uncovered a bio-safety hood, bio-safety labeling, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, and gallon-sized containers filled with red-brown liquids, along with refrigerated vials containing unidentified substances."
Federal and local authorities uncovered an alleged illegal biological laboratory inside a Las Vegas home owned by Chinese national Jia Bei Zhu. Hazmat teams removed medical tubing, vials and containers. Investigators found a significant volume of material stored in refrigerators and freezers, including vials with liquids of varying colors and pathogen-labeled containers marked 'dengue fever,' 'HIV,' and 'malaria,' with reports of labels showing 'COVID' and 'Ebola.' More than 1,000 samples and 1,000 mice were collected. Authorities arrested property manager Ori Solomon. Searches recovered a bio-safety hood, centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, and gallon-sized containers of red-brown liquids. The owner is linked to a similar 2023 Reedley, California discovery that prompted a congressional investigation and alleged foreign funding and storage of thousands of pathogen-labeled samples.
