TikTok star Terryon Ishmael Thomas, known online as “Mr Prada,” has been arrested in connection with the killing of 69-year-old therapist William Nicholas Abraham.
Abraham’s body was discovered over the weekend along Louisiana’s Highway 51, wrapped in a tarp and partially concealed between Fluker and Tangipahoa, about 60 miles northeast of Baton Rouge.
The Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed that Abraham died from blunt force trauma, ruling his death a homicide. Thomas, 20, who hails from Newellton, Louisiana, had been wanted on charges of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorised use of a motor vehicle in connection with the incident.

Mr Prada was apprehended in Dallas, Texas, and is currently being held without bond. Local authorities had been searching for him following a failed police pursuit involving a stolen black Lincoln MKZ in Baton Rouge. During the chase, the vehicle crashed, and Thomas was later identified as the driver through a photo lineup, leading to his arrest.
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office released images of Thomas to the public earlier in the week, identifying him as a person of interest in the case. It is still unclear if there was any prior relationship between Thomas and Abraham, and no motive has been disclosed.
William Nicholas Abraham was a licensed professional counselor and motivational speaker, with his office located near the Mid City South neighborhood of Baton Rouge. His tragic death has left many in the local community in shock, as authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the murder.
