泰瑞·汤玛斯，一位在TikTok上以搞笑且贴近生活的视频著称、并拥有400万粉丝的关注者，最近因涉嫌第二度谋杀和阻碍司法公正而成为舆论焦点。这位20岁的创作者不仅因其对其他制作人的内容进行几乎一比一复制的行为而名声大噪，近日他与心理治疗师威廉·尼古拉斯·亚伯拉罕的死案联系在一起后，更是引发了广泛的猜测。
据报道，在2月14日亚伯拉罕在路易斯安那州塔格帕霍阿郊外的一条高速公路上被发现身亡的消息传出之际，汤玛斯在当地时间2月13日在达拉斯被捕。官方声明指出，79岁的亚伯拉罕死于猛烈的暴力伤害。
网络上流传着许多有关两人关系及该事件的猜测与讨论，在TikTok和X平台上，有大量帖子提及此事，并得到了数百万次观看。而汤玛斯的个人账户“mr.prada456”目前粉丝量达到400万之多。
关于指控详情，汤玛斯被指在亚伯拉罕家中共同住所发现血迹、锋利器具和其他武器，同时还有监控视频显示亚伯拉罕在案发前一天进入了他的公寓。另据警员的陈述，在一次未经授权驾驶亚伯拉罕车辆并拒绝警察指示的事件后，达拉斯警方对汤玛斯发布逮捕令，并于2月14日将其逮捕。
当前汤玛斯的律师身份和听审日期尚未明确，他目前在达拉斯被羁押，等待被引渡至路易斯安那州。案件审理的具体信息仍待确认中。
在社交媒体上，虽然针对汤玛斯的犯罪行为及其可能动机的猜测仍在继续发酵，但已有些帖子错误地宣称汤玛斯与亚伯拉罕于2015年的案发有关。那时，亚伯拉罕因涉嫌不当触摸一名11岁病患而被捕，最终未被起诉。
根据东博肯郡治安官办公室的说法，并无证据显示汤玛斯是亚伯拉罕的病人。至于动机和关系等细节仍在调查中。

原文摘要：
Terryon Thomas, a popular TikTok creator with 4 million followers on his main account, became infamous for his comedic and relatable videos, many of which he was accused of copying from other creators. But the 20-year-old gained new notoriety this week after he was charged with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice on Thursday. The online creator has been at the center of a social media frenzy over allegations that he was involved in the death of therapist William Nicholas Abraham. Many posts on TikTok and X, some of which garnered millions of views, speculated on the relationship between Thomas and Abraham. Thomas, who is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was arrested in Dallas on Tuesday. He is accused of killing Abraham, who was found dead on the side of a highway near Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, on Sunday. Law enforcement officials said Abraham, 69, died as a result of blunt-force trauma. NBC News has reached out to the management team listed on Thomas’ profile for comment but did not receive a response. Here’s what to know about the TikTok star. Who is Mr Prada? Thomas began gaining traction on TikTok in late 2022. He has made numerous accounts over the years, but his current main account, which uses the handle mr.prada456, has 4 million followers. Thomas became notorious on the platform for copying other creators’ videos shot for shot. Some creators who had their content re-created by Thomas called him out, but his unapologetic attitude toward their complaints quickly spawned a meme. Some TikTok users claimed to be “Mr Prada victims” and would make videos feigning distress when Thomas would like their videos, according to Know Your Meme. Thomas made a video at the time saying he was “unbothered” by the criticism. The video has since been deleted. Over the past year, Thomas’ followers have expressed concern over the TikToker’s well-being after he made a post hinting at loneliness, announced that his name “is not Prada anymore” and uploaded several videos showing he shaved his head and eyebrows. What are the accusations against Thomas? Thomas was charged with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice in connection with Abraham’s death. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said it found blood, sharp objects and other weapons in Thomas’ home, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant. The affidavit also said that Abraham was captured on surveillance footage entering Thomas’ apartment complex the day before his body was found. Witnesses saw Thomas dragging a tarp down the stairs and loading it into Abraham’s car, according to the affidavit. Authorities in Dallas arrested Thomas after a separate arrest warrant was issued by Baton Rouge police following a traffic stop in which he was suspected of driving Abraham’s car unauthorized and allegedly refused to comply with officers. Thomas was arrested on suspicion of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, resisting an officer and aggravated criminal damage to property after he allegedly backed into a police car while fleeing. When asked by NBC News, court and sheriff’s officials did not immediately know whether he had a lawyer. Thomas is in custody in Dallas and awaits extradition to Louisiana. A court date has not been set. What has been the reaction to Thomas’ arrest? Online, Thomas’ followers have continued to speculate about the alleged crime and possible motives. Several viral posts on TikTok and X, some of which garnered millions of views, falsely claimed that Thomas was involved in Abraham’s 2015 arrest, during which the therapist was accused of inappropriately touching an 11-year-old client. Prosecutors declined to take the case to trial. Defense attorney Jarrett Ambeau, who represented Abraham, told NBC News that Thomas was not involved in the case. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said “there is no evidence to suggest that Thomas was a client of Abraham.” A motive and relationship are still under investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
