DALLAS, TX – Terryon Thomas, also known as TikTok influencer “Mr. Prada,” is currently held in Dallas County Jail with no bail after being followed by a fugitive task force from Baton Rouge to Dallas. He is under investigation for a murder case in Baton Rouge.
Thomas, 20, was followed after being implicated in an encounter with Baton Rouge Police involving a reportedly stolen black Lincoln MKZ. Authorities identified Thomas as the driver who allegedly refused to exit the vehicle, rammed into an officer’s vehicle, and drove off before leaving the car abandoned in a local parking lot.
The stolen vehicle was linked to 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham, a well-known Baton Rouge therapist who frequently appeared on the local ABC TV station. Abraham’s body was discovered last Sunday morning wrapped in a tarp alongside Highway 51 in Tangipahoa Parish. Investigators deduced that he had been brutally killed.
Authorities then issued a BOLO (Be on the Lookout) bulletin after footage from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office security cameras showed Thomas was the last person to be seen with Abraham. Thomas was subsequently traced to a house in Baton Rouge.
During a search of the residence, homicide investigators found clear indications of a violent altercation, including a large amount of blood and multiple sharp objects. According to the detectives, cleanup efforts to discard evidence were evident at the scene.
An anonymous tip led investigators to downtown Dallas, where Thomas was apprehended without confrontation on Tuesday evening. Presently, he is facing charges of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting arrest, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Despite the evidence, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office has not yet determined whether Thomas will be charged with Abraham’s murder.
