Florida chemistry student caught on camera injecting opioid ‘chemical agent’ under neighbor’s door https://nypost.com/2023/08/25/florida-man-caught-injecting-opioid-chemical-agent-under-neighbors-door/
A Florida chemistry student was caught on a neighbor’s hidden camera allegedly injecting an opioid “chemical agent” underneath their front door, causing the family and their newborn baby to fall ill, according to police.
Umar Abdullah and his pregnant wife moved into their new condo in Tampa in June 2022 and were warmly welcomed by other residents in the building.
Shortly after, however, Abdullah began receiving texts from his disgruntled downstairs neighbor, Xuming Li, a seemingly “regular guy” who complained about losing sleep and hearing the toilet seat move, he told WFLA.
After months of quarreling, Abdullah said, he, his wife and their daughter started feeling dizzy and vomiting.
“I look at my daughter,” Abdullah told the outlet. “Her eyes were full of tears. She was not crying, but her eyes were full of tears.”

A friend first noticed the chemical smell while retrieving a package for Abdullah while he and his family were away on vacation.
When he returned, he said, he noticed an odor that he described as more “obnoxious” than nail polish remover.
He called the air conditioning company, which found no problems.
Then he called a plumber, who also found nothing wrong with the water heater, from which the smell appeared to be emanating.

His landlord replaced the heater and he even had his air ducts and vents cleaned — but the chemical smell persisted.

“I never thought after all this that no,” Abdullah said. “I’m just imagining this. No.”
But then, confident there was an issue, he said, he “started sniffing that place like a dog.”
When he searched his doorway, he found a small crack in the corner.
Suspecting his neighbor Yi might have something to do with his family’s illness, he set up a hidden camera outside.
When Abdullah’s daughter became sick again, he checked the footage, which showed Yi crouching down outside his door — though it was not clear what his neighbor was doing.
“We were shaking,” Abdullah recalled to WFLA. “We can’t imagine that he is coming and doing something.”
He adjusted the hidden camera angle, and when his daughter was ill again, he checked the footage.
This time, the video showed Yi appearing to take a syringe out, fill it with liquid, and then inject the liquid into the crack in Abdullah’s door frame, according to WFLA.

Abdullah immediately got his family out of the home and called the police.
Li was arrested by Tampa police and slapped with a number of felony charges, including possession of a controlled dangerous substance and burglary.
A hazmat test revealed the “liquid chemical agent” contained a combination of methadone and hydrocodone — both opioid pain medications.
Xuming LiXuming Li is scheduled to appear in court next on Dec. 5.News Chanel 8
Li is listed as a doctoral chemistry student at the University of Southern Florida, but the school told the outlet he had not been enrolled since the summer 2023 semester ended.
He was released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court next on Dec. 5. What do you think? Post a comment.
He is separately facing a lawsuit from Abdullah for domestic violence and from the condo association for breach of contract.
Abdullah’s daughter just celebrated her first birthday at the apartment — but he says he is looking to move his family elsewhere.

Not my characterizations, per se, but is there a sea change coming, in which opiates are classified as chemical agents from China.

So much about this doesn't make sense, but what a fascinating story. What was the smell? How are they getting methadone and hydrocodone in their systems - or the baby? This is such a weird story.

No way that works. You can weaponize fentanyl or carfentanil gas but it requires a huge amount far more that you can fit in a syringe. Shooting some liquid under a door would not have any effect on the people inside.

That's what I would think as well. Wonder what he was mixing it all with to make it smell so bad? Will be interesting to see what all comes out of this. Seems he was definitely wasting the methadone and hydro though

I do recall that Russia did it, to end a terrorist hostage crisis, but I cannot expertly say what is the threshhold dosage per volume of air.

They seem fixated on furnaces and vents, imho.

100% correct. Squirting acetyl-fentanyl or the likes in a liquid solution under the door while they were gone would not harm them. It would either soak into the carpet or floor, or evaporate into the air and disperse immediately as the PPM concentration is so low.
To do this effectively, you would need to make an aerosol-gas dispersion device that would disperse it into their house through the vents and such. Not possible under a fucking door crack. And if the guy did this through the vents, it would disperse into other apartments, hurting or killing many others.
This story sounds 100% like weapons grade bologne. If anything, the Chinese guy was injecting some nasty solvent under the door that smelled terrible and made people mildly ill when exposed.

There is generally one attached to every vent. We call it a fan or the name of some appliance.

Drug residues are said to be found on every dollar, and possibly, every public surface. Here is some apartment or building project. It doesn't seem fun to live there. What if you just randomly tested the carpeting or ceiling tiles, where no accident had been reported.
