Las Vegas Home Raided Over Suspected Biolab With Ties to California Case

Testing of seized vials is underway at a secure county facility.

Overview

  • Authorities found refrigerators and vials containing unknown liquids during a multiagency search of a northeast Las Vegas residence.
  • Officials said there is no known threat to the public and described the situation as isolated, with one person detained as the investigation continues.
  • Property records link the home to an LLC associated with Jia Bei Zhu, who faces federal charges in a separate California test‑kit scheme with a trial set for April 2026.
  • Investigators say the Las Vegas probe began with a code‑violation call and was taken over by the Joint Terrorism Task Force once potential biological materials were suspected.
  • Roughly 20 additional locations are being checked for possible connections, and sources say nothing concerning has been found at those sites so far.
