A TikTok personality known as “Mr. Prada” has been charged with the murder of Louisiana therapist William Abraham. The 20-year-old, whose real name is Terryon Thomas, gained fame on TikTok with over 4 million followers.
Thomas now faces serious charges, including second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, following the discovery of Abraham’s body in a tragic incident.
The body of 69-year-old William Abraham was found wrapped in a tarp along Highway 51, approximately 60 miles northeast of Baton Rouge.
The discovery was made by a passerby on the morning of September 29. According to the coroner’s report, Abraham died from blunt force trauma, indicating a violent attack.
On Thursday, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Thomas is currently in custody in Dallas, Texas.
While authorities are still investigating the nature of the relationship between Thomas and Abraham, there is no evidence at this time to suggest that Thomas was a client of the therapist.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to uncover more details about what led to this fatal encounter. Detectives uncovered new information after realizing that Abraham’s vehicle, a 2018 Lincoln, was missing.
Surveillance footage captured the car at a shopping center in Denham Springs, Louisiana, just hours after Abraham’s body was found.
A person of interest was seen exiting the vehicle and entering a nearby store. Following a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) alert for the vehicle, authorities identified the person in the footage as Terryon Thomas.
On Monday, Baton Rouge Police attempted to stop the vehicle believed to be linked to the crime. However, a high-speed chase ensued, ending when Thomas crashed the car into another vehicle in a parking lot.
Despite the crash, Thomas was able to return to his residence in Baton Rouge before being apprehended. Upon executing a search warrant at Thomas’s apartment, detectives found significant evidence suggesting a violent struggle had taken place.
A large amount of blood was discovered throughout the apartment, along with sharp objects and other weapons. There were also signs that someone had attempted to clean up the crime scene.
Witnesses later reported seeing Thomas struggling to move a large object wrapped in a blue tarp, which was identified as Abraham’s body, down the stairs and into Abraham’s vehicle.
Video footage further revealed that Abraham had arrived at Thomas’s apartment on the morning of September 28. He was wearing the same clothes later found on his body, confirming that his death occurred shortly after this visit.
The case has garnered significant attention, with law enforcement agencies working together to bring justice for the victim.
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana State Police, Baton Rouge Police Department, and U.S. Marshal’s Service have all been involved in the investigation.
