A TIKTOKER has been arrested in connection to the violent killing of a therapist and former priest who was found beaten to death.
Terryon Ishmael Thomas, known as Mr. Prada, was allegedly found driving William “Nicky” Abraham’s car days after the therapist’s body was dumped in a ditch by a highway.

The 69-year-old’s remains were wrapped in a tarp and left about an hour outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Cops said the former priest was “violently” beaten to death and had bruises all over his head and neck.
After a probe was launched, police announced they wanted to bring in the popular influencer for questioning.
This came after Thomas was seen driving Abraham’s car and refused to comply with cops when they tried to pull him over, according to his arrest warrant seen by The U.S. Sun.
He allegedly reversed into police cars before running away from the scene.
Thomas was booked in the Dallas County, Texas, jail on Monday and will be dragged back to Baton Rouge to face charges, according to jail records seen by The U.S. Sun.
Thomas, 20, is known as Mr. Prada on the social media site TikTok.
He has two accounts on the platform and has racked up more than eight million followers and over 550 million likes.
Thomas has been charged with aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
He hasn’t been named as a suspect in connection with Abraham’s death.
Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker described the suspected attack as “violent and physical” and previously said they were working to find out where Abraham was killed.
“It was a very physical scene,” the cop admitted.
LAST MOMENTS
Friends of Abraham have revealed his final movements before he was attacked.
Abraham’s roommate said the ex-priest left the property on Saturday to clean his car, per WBRZ.
He then planned to fill in some paperwork when he got back to his office but never returned.
Abraham’s brothers have been left wanting answers but have paid tribute to their sibling.
Joseph and Tommy Abraham described him as an entertainer and someone who was full of life.
“I want to know who did it, and I want to know why,” Tommy told WBRZ.
Abraham’s attorney said he has been left stunned.
“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,” Jared Ambeau told the Fox affiliate WVUE-TV.
Cops have not yet revealed a motive.
Abraham was a priest for more than a decade working in Mississippi and Milwaukee before becoming a therapist.
Abraham, known as Dr. Nick, had more than 30 years of experience tackling issues of substance abuse and depression, according to his website.
He was also a motivational speaker and recording artist.
