A popular TikTok creator, Terryon Thomas, 20, known as “Mr. Prada,” has been named a person of interest in the death of 69-year-old therapist William Nicholas Abraham from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Thomas was arrested in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday night by local police with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Task Force.
Thomas was considered a fugitive on multiple charges, including aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was identified in connection with Abraham’s death, whose body was discovered in a bag along U.S. Highway 51 on Sunday.
According to an arrest warrant, Baton Rouge police attempted to stop a black Lincoln MKZ linked to Abraham, but the driver, later identified as Thomas, fled the scene, backing into an officer’s vehicle during the attempt. The vehicle was spotted later that day in Denham Springs, just east of Baton Rouge.
While Thomas faces numerous charges, he is currently only a person of interest in the murder case. The circumstances that led authorities to connect him to the investigation remain unclear. Thomas was not involved in a previous molestation case from 2015, which had been dropped after consideration.
