In a shocking turn of events, TikTok personality Terryon Thomas, also known as Mr. Prada, has been charged in connection with the brutal death of a Louisiana therapist. The body of Nicholas Abraham was found over the weekend, encased in a tarpaulin near a state highway, according to the authorities.
The Discovery of the Crime
The lifeless body of the 69-year-old Baton Rouge resident was discovered on Sunday in rural Tangipahoa Parish, situated east of Baton Rouge and north of New Orleans. In a swift action, the Dallas County police on Tuesday apprehended the 20-year-old Thomas, who had reportedly fled the scene in the victim’s car.
As per the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, the motive behind the killing and any possible relationship between Thomas and the victim remains unclear. Thomas, who now faces charges of second-degree murder, is awaiting extradition from Texas to Louisiana.
Investigation Update
In an official release, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office stated, “At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that Thomas was a client of Abraham.” Moreover, online booking records in Dallas County, as of now, do not provide any attorney who could comment on behalf of Thomas.
In a crucial piece of evidence, the surveillance video shows Abraham entering Thomas’ apartment on Saturday morning, wearing the same clothes he was found in. Witnesses have recounted seeing Thomas struggling to drag a blue tarp down his apartment’s stairs, which he then loaded into Abraham’s car.
