TikTok Star ‘Mr. Prada’ Charged with Murder of Louisiana Therapist Following Violent Altercation

A viral TikTok personality known as "Mr. Prada" has been charged with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice in connection with the death of a Baton Rouge therapist. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Terryon Thomas, is currently in custody in Dallas, Texas, and is expected to be extradited to East Baton Rouge Parish to face charges.

According to WBRZ, the victim, 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham, was discovered dead on Sunday, September 29, alongside a highway in Tangipahoa Parish. Authorities revealed that Abraham's body was found wrapped in a tarp, indicating foul play. Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker confirmed the gruesome discovery and indicated that a violent struggle had occurred prior to Abraham’s death.

An arrest report from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office (EBRSO) detailed that a search warrant was executed at Thomas's apartment on Mancuso Lane in Baton Rouge, where homicide detectives found significant evidence of a "violent physical altercation." Blood was found throughout the apartment, and multiple sharp objects and weapons were also collected at the scene. Jail records suggest there had been an attempt to clean and discard evidence, further implicating Thomas.

Video surveillance from the investigation shows Abraham arriving at Thomas's apartment complex on the morning of Saturday, September 28. The affidavit states that Abraham was wearing the same clothing that was found on him when his body was later discovered.

Witnesses reported seeing Thomas dragging an object wrapped in a blue tarp down the stairs of his apartment hours after Abraham was last seen alive. Thomas was also allegedly seen loading the tarp into Abraham's vehicle. The Louisiana State Police Crime Lab confirmed the DNA collected from the blood at the crime scene to match the victim’s DNA.

Authorities are still investigating the nature of the relationship between Thomas and Abraham, as well as a possible motive. There is no current evidence to suggest that Thomas was a client of Abraham.

The case remains under active investigation, and further updates will be provided as they become available. Thomas will face a court appearance in East Baton Rouge Parish at a later date.
