TikTok creator Terryon Thomas (Mr. Prada) was arrested last week in Dallas and is charged with second-degree murder for the killing of 69-year-old William Nicolas Abraham. Terryon Thomas from Louisiana had been gaining negative attention on the TikTok platform after surveillance had surfaced of him being a suspect.
The connection between the two is unclear, though people assumed Abraham was Terryon’s therapist. It was rumored that the therapist, Abraham, had molested Terryon which led to a motive for his killing. In 2015, Abraham was accused of molesting an 11-year-old client. Abraham was then arrested following this case but was released on a $25,000 bond. Despite this background, this case is not linked to the ongoing one.
Regarding the current situation, surveillance shows Abraham entering Terryon’s apartment complex on Saturday morning, September 28, 2024. It is unknown why the two met up, but it is known that Abraham left his own apartment that evening but never returned. Abraham’s body was later found wrapped in a tarp on the side of Highway 51 in Tangipahoa Parish on Sunday, September 29, 2024.
Footage captured Terryon in a store on Sunday, September 29, 2024, and he was reported to be seen driving William’s car. Authorities stopped the stolen vehicle on Monday, but the driver (Terryon) backed into the police car and fled. Terryon then returned to his apartment and tried to clear the scene. Later, a witness came forward stating that they had seen Terroyon dragging a tarp out of his apartment and into the victim’s vehicle.
This led the Baton Rouge Police Department to search the home and they concluded that a very violent altercation had taken place, finding various sharp objects and weapons. Blood was also found inside the apartment that was later tested by DNA lab resulting in a positive match to Abraham.
Terroyon fled on a bus to Texas where he was later caught and arrested. Dallas police charged him with 3 charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, resisting an officer, and aggravated criminal damage to property.
Followers of Terryon have come forward on the app and highlighted some of Terryon’s videos where he has said he is bipolar, and it immediately raised concerns amongst his audience. The media deemed him a “crash out” after seeing him impulsively change his appearance, going as far as shaving his head and eyebrows. In one video in particular, Terryon stated, “I really have never met anyone as crazy as me.”
