A TikTok star known as “Mr. Prada” according to reporting from FOX8 New Orleans has been arrested in connection to the homicide of a beloved Louisiana therapist over the weekend.

William Nicholas “Nick” Abraham, 69, was formerly a Catholic priest before becoming a fixture in the Baton Rouge community as a therapist and cable television personality.

Abraham’s body was discovered early Sunday morning wrapped in a tarp in a ditch alongside Highway 51 by a passerby. Authorities believe his body may have been placed there on Saturday night.

Terryon Ishmael Thomas, 20, was arrested in Dallas County, Texas, on Tuesday after the Tangipahoa Sheriff’s Office released a statement confirming the social media personality was a person of interest.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office posted to Facebook asking the public for help identifying the suspect on Tuesday, saying “detectives believe the individual seen in these store surveillance pictures is the last person known to have been driving 69-year-old William Nicholas Abraham’s vehicle.”

“The vehicle was located by Baton Rouge Police Monday afternoon. The driver of the vehicle, at the time, sped away from a traffic stop and ultimately ran away after crashing the car,” the post continued.

“Nick” Abraham was a fixture of the Baton Rouge community, formerly serving as a Catholic priest and providing mental health advice on local cable television. (Dr. Nick Abraham, LPC – counselor via Facebook)

The Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office ruled Abraham was killed by blunt force trauma. The investigation has now been turned over to the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, according to an email sent to Fox News Digital.

“I’m absolutely devastated and completely surprised that something like that could have happened to a man who I believed to be so tender, so gentle, and have such a servant’s heart,” said Abraham’s attorney Jarrett Ambeau to FOX 8 New Orleans.
