A TikTok content creator was arrested in Dallas this week and is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of a Baton Rouge counselor and life coach whose body was found on the side of a Louisiana highway over the weekend, law enforcement officials said Thursday. Terryon Thomas, the 20-year-old content creator from Louisiana, was arrested in Texas on Tuesday by the US Marshals, the agency said. He is being held without bond on a warrant from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office for second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, among other charges, according to the sheriff’s office and Dallas County jail records. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office told CNN that Thomas has “a TikTok account with the handle ‘Mr. Prada.’” Police were called to investigate Sunday after the body of 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham was found rolled up in a comforter and taped up with duct tape inside a tarp on the side of a highway in Tangipahoa Parish in Louisiana, the arrest warrant affidavit said. According to the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office, Abraham’s preliminary cause of death was determined to be homicide and the manner of death was blunt force trauma, the sheriff’s office said. Abraham was a licensed professional counselor, providing counseling and psychotherapy to clients in the Baton Rouge area, according to his obituary and practice website. In a news release, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said “the relationship of the suspect to the victim and the murder motive are still under investigation. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that Thomas was a client of Abraham.”
