Terryon Ishmael Thomas, a 20-year-old TikTok influencer known as “Mr. Prada 456,” has been arrested in relation to the homicide of William Nicholas Abraham, a 69-year-old licensed counselor and motivational speaker.
Abraham’s body was discovered wrapped in a tarp along Highway 51 in Fluker, Louisiana, prompting shock and sadness in the local community.
Law enforcement officials from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office ruled Abraham’s death a homicide due to blunt force trauma.
However, details surrounding the motive for the killing remain unclear. Investigators have not disclosed any possible connection between Thomas and Abraham, raising further questions about the circumstances leading to this tragic event.
Who is Mr Prada?
Before his arrest, Thomas was already wanted by law enforcement, facing multiple charges, including aggravated criminal damage to property and resisting arrest.
His social media presence had gained substantial traction, amassing over 3.9 million followers on TikTok.
