A mentally disturbed TikTok influencer has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Baton Rouge therapist.
Terryon Thomas, also known as “Mr. Prada”, a popular influencer on TikTok, was arrested Monday by police in Dallas County, Texas.
The 20-year-old was wanted in connection with the murder of William Nicholas Abraham, whose body was found wrapped in a tarp along a Louisiana highway over the weekend.
Thomas is charged with damage to property, resisting an officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He is being held without bond. His charges are expected to be upgraded to murder.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office in Hammond, La., said the coroner’s office determined Abraham, 69, was beaten to death with a blunt instrument.
On Monday afternoon, Tangipahoa Parish authorities released surveillance camera screenshots of Thomas driving Abraham’s vehicle in Baton Rouge. The vehicle sped away from cops during a traffic stop. After crashing the car, Thomas got out and fled on foot.
Thomas, who has 4 million followers on TikTok, is believed to be the last person to see Abraham alive.
The sheriff’s department said there is no clear motive for the murder.
East Baton Rouge Parish court records obtained by 4WWL TV show that Abraham was arrested in 2015 for inappropriately touching an 11-year-old boy during a therapy session.
Last year Thomas recorded a TikTok video that read “practicing for my mug shot cuz this might be the year someone gonna meet God if they piss me off too much.”
