Terryon Ishmael Thomas, a 20-year-old TikTok influencer known as Mr. Prada, was apprehended in Texas following a manhunt related to the murder of a therapist in Louisiana. With 8.2 million followers and over 550 million likes on TikTok, Thomas garnered significant online attention.
Authorities discovered the body of 69-year-old William Nicholas “Nick” Abraham wrapped in a tarp in a ditch along Highway 51 near the Village of Tangipahoa on Sunday. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff, Gerald Sticker, characterized Abraham’s death as particularly violent, resulting from blunt force trauma to the head, neck, and shoulders.
Thomas was identified as a suspect after he was seen driving Abraham's vehicle. When law enforcement attempted to stop the stolen car, he fled the scene, backing into a police vehicle before escaping on foot. Thomas managed to leave Louisiana and was found in Dallas on Tuesday afternoon, where he was taken into custody.
While he faces charges for aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting arrest, and unauthorized vehicle use, authorities have yet to formally charge him with Abraham's murder. A motive for the attack remains unclear. The investigation is ongoing as law enforcement seeks to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of William Abraham.
