This afternoon, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill along with the FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Delzotto of the Las Vegas Field Office and Clark County Fire Department Chief Billy Samuels provided an update on a joint investigation involving a possible biological laboratory located inside a residence.

Starting in the morning hours of January 31, 2026, and ending early February 2, 2026, the LVMPD ARMOR team assisted the FBI, local fire departments, and other state partners with the collection of over one thousand pieces of evidence from a residence on Sugar Springs Drive in Northeast Las Vegas. LVMPD utilized several technology platforms to safely enter and assess the location before investigators entered the home. Some of that evidence included biological material and liquids that were meticulously collected and sent to FBI labs for testing.

Investigators have identified a suspect in this case as the owner of the residence on Sugar Springs Drive. That individual was already in federal custody on charges related to the investigation of a biolab in Reedley, California in 2023.

A second suspect, 55-year-old Ori Solomon, was arrested in conjunction with this investigation. Solomon is the property manager for the two properties on Sugar Springs Drive and Temple View Drive. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center for disposing and discharging hazardous waste.

This remains an ongoing investigation.
