Video of Mr. Prada practicing his mugshot on camera goes viral after he is named suspect in Baton Rouge therapist's murder
A video of Mr. Prada, a TikToker, has gone viral after he was named a key suspect in the shocking murder of a well-known therapist, William Abraham, in Baton Rouge.
On October 1, 2024, users on X and TikTok thoroughly reviewed Prada's social media activity. During this review, a video was discovered on his TikTok account, @mr.prada456, where he appears to be practicing for a mugshot.
The footage surfaced online shortly after police revealed Mr. Prada as the prime suspect in the tragic death of a beloved Baton Rouge therapist, William Nicholas Abraham. The Baton Rouge therapist was found dead on Sunday, September 29, 2024.
Viral video shows Mr. Prada rehearsing mugshot amid murder investigation
On Tuesday, a video clip from Mr. Prada's social media account went viral, showing him rehearsing for a mugshot. The video was captioned with a message:
"Practicing for my mug shot cus this might be the year someone gonna meet God if they p*ss me off too much," Prada captioned.
In the video, Mr. Prada, whose real name is Terryon Ishmael Thomas, can be seen wearing a blue shirt, standing in his bathroom, and wearing a ponytail-styled wig.
According to BR Poud News, the body of William Nicholas Abraham was found rolled up in a trap near Highway 51 between Fluker and the Village of Tangipahoa in Louisiana, just 60 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, where the therapist worked.
Moreover, according to the autopsy reports, the therapist died from a violent attack and blunt force trauma to his body parts, including his head, neck, and shoulders:
"It was a very physical and very violent attack. He was bludgeoned about in the head, shoulders, and neck. There was a lot of bruising, what have you," Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker said.
Terryon Ishmael Thomas became a suspect in the case after being identified as the last person seen driving the therapist's car. When police attempted to pull him over during a traffic stop, he fled, leading to a high-speed chase that ended in a crash, after which he fled on foot.
Following this incident, images of Mr. Prada, released by the police department, surfaced. According to 12 KXII News, Mr. Prada was spotted in a local store around the time of the investigation.
Another perspective speculates that Mr. Prada may have killed the therapist in an attempt to protect a friend who the therapist was allegedly molesting. Additionally, it has come to light that William Nicholas Abraham, the therapist, faced charges in 2015 for inappropriate contact with a minor client.
However, no further legal action was taken against him due to insufficient evidence.
According to William Nicholas Abraham's attorney, Jarrett Ambeau, his client was a "kind man". Jarrett Ambeau suggested that he was devasted to know about his demise —
"He was kind, loving, a gentle man, and frankly not the kind of man that something like this would've happened to. I'm absolutely devastated and completely surprised that something like that could've happened to a man who I believe to be so tender and so gentle and have such a service heart," Jarrett Ambeau said.
An arrest warrant has been released against Mr. Prada under the charges of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
He has not been charged for the alleged murder of William Nicholas Abraham. Also, it is not known whether Mr. Prada is linked with William Nicholas Abraham in any way.
According to WWLTV, William Nicholas Abraham, known as Nicky, was a nickname given by siblings and had eight siblings, including two brothers, Tommy and Joseph Abraham. Tommy expressed their family's shock upon learning the tragic news.
Abraham was well-known in Baton Rouge and regularly appeared on WBRZ's Weekends with Whitney. Before transitioning to a career as a therapist, he served as a Catholic priest for 14 years, ministering in Mississippi and Milwaukee, according to his brother Joseph.
