BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Baton Rouge police have issued an arrest warrant for a “TikTok” personality wanted in the case of slain Baton Rouge mental health therapist Dr. Nick Abraham.

The arrest warrant for Terryon Ishmael Thomas, 20, of Newellton, Louisiana, says he is wanted on charges of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Police said Thomas is a popular “TikTok” personality known as “Mr. Prada.”

The warrant contained no charges related to Abraham’s death.

All charges stem from Thomas crashing the doctor’s stolen vehicle in Baton Rouge Monday afternoon when police tried to stop him along Sherwood Forest Boulevard. According to police, the person in the car got out and ran, but was not apprehended. However, an officer later picked Thomas out of a photo lineup, the warrant said.

Abraham, 69, was violently attacked and his body was wrapped in a tarp and dumped along a highway in Tangipahoa Parish, where it was discovered Sunday morning. Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker said.

Investigators believe Abraham was killed on Saturday, but do not know where the killing took place.

A search of his apartment on Corporate Boulevard in Baton Rouge turned up no signs of a crime committed there, investigators said.

On Monday evening, investigators released photos of a “person of interest” in the case, saying the man in the photos was the last person known to have been driving Abraham’s car.

The photos came from a surveillance camera at a store “in the Juban Crossing area,” investigators said.

Juban Crossing is a shopping center located on Interstate 12 in Livingston Parish. The images were captured on Sunday.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP.

Family members say Abraham will be buried next week in Mississippi.
