Who is Chozen Terrell-Hannah aka ChozenWrld? TikTok star arrested after FBI identify his sneakers

TikToker ChozenWrld has been arrested by the FBI after the latter were able to identify him through his shoes that had been used in armed robberies. The TikToker is being arrested after multiple videos linked him to four separate crimes which took place in different convenience stores.

Law enforcement were able to arrest Chozen Terrell-Hannah, aka ChozenWrld, after seeing him dance in Nike sneakers that had red spots on them. The same shoes were matched to the ones worn by a robber who stole from various stores between December and February. A task force officer said in an official complaint:

“Based on my training and experience, I believe due to [ChozenWrld’s] light complexion, the victims of armed robberies, observing him under the circumstances and wearing the clothing described above, could describe him as either white or black. … These shoes are similar in appearance to the shoes worn in the above referenced armed robberies.”

They arrested him after attaining a warrant, which they were able to acquire due to cellphone data showing him in the areas of the robberies. During their house raid, they found a Glock handgun as well.

The TikToker allegedly robbed a gas station, a smoke shop and two 7-Eleven stores twice.

Complex reported that police investigators received an anonymous tip which led them to ChozenWrld. Police officers told The Detroit News that they watched multiple videos of the Michigan-native TikToker and noticed that he matched witnesses’ descriptions.
