TikToker Mr. Prada Arrested In Connection To The Murder Of Therapist William Nicholas Abraham
TikTok influencer Mr. Prada, Terryon Thomas, 20, was arrested in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, following the homicide of Baton Rouge, Louisana therapist William Nicholas "Dr. Nick" Abraham, according to local New Orleans news station FOX-8.
Thomas was charged with "resisting an officer," "aggravated criminal damage to property" and "unauthorized use of a motor vehicle," per the Dallas County Jail Search.
All charges stem from him fleeing a traffic stop in Louisiana in the deceased therapist's vehicle. He crashed the car soon after swerving the officers in question, according to WWLTV. This has made him the main "person of interest" in the investigation so far.
The jail quickly released Terryon Thomas' mugshot which went viral on Twitter / X yesterday.
Terryon Thomas goes by Mr. Prada on social media. As of October 2024, his two primary TikTok accounts, @mr.prada458 and @mr.prada456, hold over 4.2 million and 3.9 million followers, respectively. He posts skits and memes on the app, uploading memetic content as recently as Sunday; the same day that the murder reportedly occurred.

Prior to his arrest, Mr. Prada was already a divisive figure online. Since 2022, he's been accused of stealing jokes and other forms of online content. TikTokers claimed he blatantly ripped off their videos, alleging that none of his ideas were his own.
In response, Mr. Prada has routinely mocked and ignored the complaints, somewhat making his "joke stealer" reputation part of his account's gimmick.

As word of his arrest spreads online, viral reactions and memes about the odd story have surfaced. Some have humorously admitted that Mr. Prada "offing" his therapist wasn't on their 2024 bingo card.
However, it's currently unconfirmed if Terryon Thomas, Mr. Prada, was a patient of the late therapist.
Many online are speculating that Thomas might have been abused by Abraham years prior. Since his death, Abraham's criminal record has been unearthed. Namely, he was arrested in 2015 for having inappropriate relations with one of his 11-year-old patients. Nothing came of the arrest though, according to WWLTV.
Nicknamed "Dr. Nick," Abraham was a recurring guest on the local Louisiana talk show Weekends With Whitney.
As the story develops, it will be interesting to learn if Abraham and Thomas had a doctor-patient past. It's all speculation at the moment as Thomas has not been charged for the murder and remains only a "person of interest." Either way, he will face a judge for his reckless driving.
