TikTok Star Mr. Prada Arrested in Connection to Murder of Louisiana Therapist

Terryon Thomas, known to his over 4 million TikTok followers as Mr. Prada, is now facing second-degree murder and obstruction of justice charges after the body of 69-year-old therapist William Nicholas Abraham was discovered wrapped in a tarp along a highway in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana.

Who Is Mr. Prada?

Mr. Prada gained widespread popularity on TikTok thanks to his comedic skits and funny interactions, which earned him millions of followers. But Thomas has been no stranger to controversy. In the past, he faced accusations of stealing content from other creators, which led to some of his TikTok accounts being banned. Despite the criticism, his fanbase remained large, keeping him at the center of online discussions.

What Happened?

On October 3, 2024, police arrested Thomas after evidence tied him to Abraham's murder. The coroner's report revealed Abraham died from blunt force trauma, pointing to a violent attack. Investigators say surveillance footage shows Thomas driving Abraham’s stolen car, and witnesses saw Thomas trying to evade police when officers attempted to pull him over in Dallas, Texas, where he was later arrested.

Evidence Against Thomas

The investigation revealed more disturbing details. A search of Thomas’s apartment reportedly uncovered large amounts of blood, as well as sharp objects and weapons that suggest a violent fight occurred there. Abraham was last seen entering Thomas’s apartment shortly before his death, and witnesses saw Thomas dragging something wrapped in a tarp into Abraham’s vehicle.

Their Connection

Investigators have not confirmed any formal connection between Thomas and Abraham, and they’ve stated that Thomas was not a client of the therapist. Though online speculations have circulated, especially linking the case to older allegations against Abraham, former legal representatives have denied any connection between those claims and this case.

Social Media Response

The arrest of a major TikTok personality like Mr. Prada has sparked a massive reaction online. Platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) are flooded with posts, theories, and discussions dissecting the details of the case. The silence from Thomas’s once-active social media accounts has only fueled more speculation.

What’s Next?

Terryon Thomas is currently being held without bond in Dallas County Jail and is awaiting extradition back to Louisiana to face the charges. It’s unclear if he’s secured legal representation yet, and no plea has been entered. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, and more information is expected to surface in the coming weeks.

The body of prominent Baton Rouge therapist William Nicholas "Nick" Abraham was discovered wrapped in a tarp in a ditch in Tangipahoa Parish on Sunday, September 29.
