Who's Mr Prada?
Mr. Prada's photo was published by Dallas County, Texas after he was detained there. He was sent to Baton Rouge to stand trial.
Mr Prada, which isTerryon Thomas,is a 20-year-old who gained popularity on TikTok through comedy films and had over4 million followers. His career online was ruined when he was arrested and charged with violent murder. Victim was 69 years old.William Nicholas Abraham– a therapist and a former priest whose body was found wrapped in a tarp on the Louisiana Highway.
Shocking Details of the Case

Investigators have determined that the victim was not Thomas' patient, and the motive for the crime remains unclear. Collected evidence and dramatic circumstances made violent killing one of the most recent US investigations.
Suggested crime motive
Dude, I remember seeing Mr. Prada on tt, he had his hair and eyebrows cut, and I thought to myself that this boy was obviously going through something heavy, and people were laughing out of nowhere right now, that this boy killed his therapist and that "supposed" therapist raped someone in 2015... Please connect the dots.
In 2015, Dr. William Nicholas Abraham was accused by an 11-year-old boy of mistouching during a therapy session, he was even arrested and released on bail, however the prosecution after verifying all the evidence decided not to refer the case to court. Dr. William Nicholas Abraham was not convicted of harassment. Internet users saw that in 2015, Mr Prada was 11 years old.
However, there is no credible evidence that Terryon Thomas was molested by William Nicholas Abraham at the age of 11, never revealed the identity of the alleged victim.
Mode of action
- The victim's body was wrapped in a quilt and a tarp, then found on the highway.
- Death was caused by blunt force trauma.
- Detectives registered the victim on CCTV when she arrived at the suspect's apartment.
- Witnesses saw Mr Prada transporting the package to the victim's car..
Mr Prada and the death penalty
This film, published last year by the content creator, Mr. Prada, shows him jokingly practicing a pose for a police photo. He was recently arrested after the body of his therapist, murdered and wrapped in a tarp.
Mr. Prada, whose real name is Terryon Ishmael Thomas, was initially wanted on suspicion of causing serious material damage, resisting arrest and unauthorised use of a motor vehicle in connection with the death of 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham.
However, on October 2, he was charged with second-degree murder.
Police reported that his therapist was "brutally" beaten to death, and his head and neck were covered with bruises.
Currently 20-year-old tiktoker Terryon Thomas is in custody, waiting for extradition to Louisiana. He was initially charged with second-degree murder, but the charges were changed to first-degree murder – which automatically allows the prosecutor to demand the death penalty, especially since the victim was over 65 years old. According to Louisiana law, killing an elderly person qualifies under this category.
In mid-July 2025, the judge refused Thomas bail. The court will decide his fate.In the United States, the death penalty is still being executed, among others, in Louisiana for the most serious crimes..

What's the finale on Mr Prada?
Although the sentence has not been passed, the case already raises wide circles not only because of the brutality of the act, but also because of the mediality of the suspect. The development of the process and the possibility of administering the death penalty raises questions about the functioning of the justice system in an age of influencers and the growing importance of social media. The final verdict is probably not for a few months..
