A popular TikTok personality has been named as a person of interest in the d£ath of a 69-year-old therapist whose body was discovered Saturday, September 28, wrapped in a tarp on a highway outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Terryon Ishmael Thomas, 20, aka Mr. Prada, was arrested in Dallas on Tuesday, October 1, after a brief manhunt.

He was spotted driving a vehicle that belonged to the victim, William Nicholas Abraham. Instead of stopping for law enforcement, Thomas backed into a police cruiser and fled on foot.

He was later caught on surveillance cameras at a nearby store.

Police believe Thomas was the last person to see Abraham alive. If and how they knew each other has not been established, and a possible motive remains unclear.

“It was a very physical and very violent attack,” Tangipahoa Sheriff Gerald Sticker told television station WAFB. Abraham died from blunt force trauma.

Sticker said police are still trying to piece together details of the popular therapist’s d£ath.

No weapons were found along the road where the body was left, and the sheriff said a search of Abraham’s home in East Baton Rouge Parish turned up no signs of foul play.

“Right now, we have no inclination as to where this originated,” Sticker said. Police believe Abraham was killed sometime Saturday night.

“I want to know who did it, and I want to know why,” the victim’s brother, Tommy Abraham, told WBRZ.

“No one should take a life but God. No one,” Tommy Abraham continued. “He’s the only one that can take a life, and for someone to take someone else’s life, you’re a coward.”

Abraham was a well-known figure in Baton Rouge, where he hosted a local television show. Before becoming a therapist, he served 14 years as a Catholic priest in Mississippi and Milwaukee.
