TikToker Mr. Prada, who boasts millions followers on the social media platform, has been arrested.

The content creator - whose real name is Terryon Ishmael Thomas - was apprehended in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday (October 1).

His arrest came shortly after police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, issued a warrant after after he was reportedly seen driving a stolen vehicle.

As the arrest warrant was issued in Baton Rouge, Thomas is expected to be extradited back to the state located over 400 miles away.

Jail records show that the 20-year-old TikToker has been charged with aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

It's believed that the vehicle Thomas was driving belonged to therapist William Nicholas Abraham, whose body was discovered by police on Sunday (September 29) wrapped in a tarp in Baton Rouge and dumped on the side of the highway.

While Thomas has not been charged in relation to the death of Abraham, police named a person of interest on Tuesday that appeared to be the social media star.

Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post shared earlier this week: "The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) is asking the public to help identify a person of interest in the homicide investigation of a Baton Rouge man.

"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."

After the photos were released, social media users were quick to speculate if the person pictured was Thomas (AKA Mr Prada).

The investigation in Abraham's death is ongoing.

Tangipahoa Sheriff Gerald Sticker told local news outlets his killing was a 'very physical, very violent death' and that the man died from blunt force trauma to the head, neck and shoulders.

Tangipahoa Sheriff Gerald Sticker added, as per the MailOnline: "He was bludgeoned about in the head, shoulders and neck. There was a lot of bruising."

It remains unclear if Thomas has any connection to Abraham, The Washington Post reports. Investigators are still working to determine where the murder occurred.

Police found no evidence of a crime having occurred in the Abraham's home after conducting a search at the property, says Fox 8.

UNILAD have approached Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office for comment.
