A 20-year-old TikTok star, known as Mr. Prada, has been charged with murder after the body of a therapist was found wrapped in a tarpaulin on a motorway. The young man, Terryon Thomas, was arrested in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after the therapist, William Nicholas Abraham, was discovered dead on the side of a road near Tangipahoa Parish. Authorities reported that the cause of death was blunt force trauma.
Thomas, who has a significant following on TikTok, with over 4.3 million followers and 500 million likes, is said to have fled from police while driving the therapist’s car. The police found evidence of a violent altercation in Thomas’s home, including a significant amount of blood and various sharp objects and weapons.
According to reports, the relationship between Thomas and Mr. Abraham is unclear, and it is believed that Thomas was not a patient of the therapist. Witnesses mentioned seeing Thomas struggling to move something wrapped in a blue sheet down the stairs of his apartment building before putting it in Mr. Abraham’s car.
Sheriff Gerald Sticker described the attack as very physical and violent, with Mr. Abraham suffering severe injuries to his head, shoulders, and neck. A lawyer who knew Mr. Abraham described him as a kind and gentle man, stating that nobody deserves to die in such a violent manner.
Despite gaining popularity on TikTok for his comedy videos, Thomas now faces serious charges and is currently in custody in Dallas, Texas, awaiting extradition to Louisiana. The management team representing him has not yet provided any comments on the situation.
The tragic incident has shocked the community and raised questions about the potential dangers of online personas and their real-life actions. It serves as a reminder that behind the screens, there are real people with real consequences for their actions. The case also highlights the importance of mental health and conflict resolution to prevent such tragic events from happening in the future.
