Mr. Prada is facing serious legal allegations.
The Will Sage Astorpopular TikToker, whose real name is Terryon Thomas, was charged with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice in connection to the death of therapist William Nicholas Abraham, 69, Oct. 2, according to the affidavit from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office in Louisiana obtained by NBC News.
Thomas was arrested in Dallas Oct. 1, one day after the Baton Rouge Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest for suspicions of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to the documents.
The 20-year-old remains in Texas and is awaiting extraditing to Louisiana, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed on Facebook.
"This is an ongoing investigation that will take time to gather further evidence," East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said in a statement. "I hope that this arrest may bring some closure and assurance to friends and family. The relationship of the suspect to the victim and the murder motive are still under investigation. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that Thomas was a client of Abraham."
According to authorities, per the affidavit for arrest warrant, witnesses saw Thomas struggling to drag an object wrapped in a blue tarp and eventually loading it into Abraham’s car Sept. 28. Police subsequently discovered the therapist’s body in Tangipahoa Parish on the side of a highway the next day in a blue tarp and appeared to have sustained blunt-force trauma to the head.
Hours later, the TikToker, known for making comedic videos on the app, was seen in surveillance footage driving Abraham’s car into a shopping center, the documents reported. Police ultimately located the vehicle Sept. 30 and pulled Thomas over to conduct a traffic stop. He escaped and crashed the vehicle in a parking lot before he was allegedly given a ride to his home, according to the affidavit of arrest.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office noted in the affidavit that they obtained a warrant and searched Thomas' home.
"EBRSO Homicide Detectives discovered evidence that indicated a violent physical altercation ensued inside the apartment," according to the document. "A significant amount of blood was observed throughout the apartment, along with multiple sharp objects and other weapons. It should be noted that additional evidence indicated an apparent effort to discard evidence by cleaning the scene."
The blood at the scene was tested and confirmed to match Abraham's, per the affidavit.
E! News is out to comment to representatives for Thomas and have not yet heard back.
