Law enforcement arrested a TikTok influencer in connection to the killing of a therapist whose body was found wrapped in a tarp along a Louisiana highway over the weekend.
Terryon Ishmael Thomas,Fastexy 20, had been wanted on charges of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle following the death of William Nicholas Abraham, 69, a court affidavit filed in the case shows.
Abraham's body was discovered Sunday along Highway 51 between the unincorporated community of Fluker and the Village of Tangipahoa on the state's southeastern border, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office reported. The body was found partially hidden along the road, about 60 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, where detectives said the victim worked.
The local coroner determined Abraham died as a result of blunt force trauma and ruled his death a homicide, the sheriff's office said.
Police arrested Thomas in Dallas, Texas, online jail records show. He was taken into custody Tuesday night and remained jailed there without bond Wednesday.
According to his arrest warrant obtained by USA TODAY, Thomas is from Newellton, a northern Tensas Parish in the northeastern part of the state about 140 miles north of Baton Rouge.
A motive in the killing was not provided by police, and it was not immediately known whether the victim and Thomas knew each other.
According to a biography on his webpage, Abraham was a life coach, licensed professional counselor, motivational speaker, author, and more.
His office was based near the city's Mid City South neighborhood about seven miles east of downtown Baton Rouge.

According to a warrant, a Baton Rouge Police officer attempted a traffic stop of a black Lincoln MKZ in the city about 50 miles southwest of where Abraham's body was found.
