A TikTok star with over 8 million followers across two accounts, featuring dark posts that hint at personal struggles, was arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a therapist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Twenty-year-old Terryon Ishmael Thomas—known to his social media followers as “Mr. Prada”—was apprehended in Dallas, Texas, Tuesday after the Baton Rouge Police Department had issued a warrant for his arrest, according to online jail records.
He was being held without bond Wednesday on charges of resisting an officer, aggravated criminal damage to property and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Although he has not yet been charged with murder, Thomas was wanted in connection to the death of William Nicholas “Nick” Abraham, a Baton Rouge therapist whose bludgeoned body was found wrapped in a tarp off the side of a highway over the weekend. Therapist Nick Abraham was known for his appearances on local news broadcasts.
Abraham’s shoulders, neck and head were battered in what local sheriff Gerald Sticker said was “a very physical, very violent death.” Baton Rouge police had previously announced that they were in search of a person of interest in the murder after a man was seen driving Abraham’s car. When police attempted to make a traffic stop, the man drove off, crashed and fled on foot.
An officer identified Thomas from a lineup as the driver. He will stand before a judge in Texas to determine if he should be extradited to Louisiana. Police have so .
