Terryon Thomas News

Law enforcement has arrested a “TikTok” personality wanted in the case of slain Baton Rouge mental health therapist Dr. Nick Abraham.

According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, Dallas police officers arrested Terryon Ishmael Thomas, 20, of Newellton, Louisiana, in Texas on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 1.

The suspect will now have to go before a judge in Texas for an extradition hearing. During that hearing, the judge will determine if the suspect should be returned to Louisiana to face charges in the warrant from the Baton Rouge Police Department.

The arrest warrant for Thomas lists his charges as aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Police said Thomas is a popular “TikTok” personality known as “Mr. Prada.”

The warrant did not include any charges related to Abraham’s death.

All of the charges were related to Thomas allegedly crashing the doctor’s stolen vehicle in Baton Rouge Monday afternoon as police tried to stop him along Sherwood Forest Boulevard. Police said the person inside that vehicle got out and ran off and was not apprehended. However, an officer later picked out Thomas from a photo lineup, the warrant states.

Abraham, 69, was violently attacked and his body was wrapped in a tarp and dumped alongside a highway in Tangipahoa Parish where it was discovered Sunday morning. Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker said.

Investigators believe Abraham was killed on Saturday but do not know where the homicide occurred.

A search of his apartment off of Corporate Boulevard in Baton Rouge did not show any signs of a crime being committed there, investigators said.

Monday evening, investigators released photographs of a “person of interest” in the case, saying the male in the photos was the last person known to have been driving Abraham’s car.

The photos came from a surveillance camera inside a store “in the Juban Crossing area,” investigators said.

Juban Crossing is a shopping center located off Interstate 12 in Livingston Parish. The images were captured on Sunday.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP.

Family members say Abraham will be laid to rest in Mississippi next week.

Colby Stokes More News

A man and woman were shot and killed Wednesday in the small Washington Parish town of Mount Hermon. According to the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, the couple’s grandson confessed to shooting them.

WPSO dispatchers got the call Wednesday afternoon. The caller told them their next-door neighbor, 23-year-old Colby Stokes, had come over and told them he killed his grandparents. When deputies arrived, Stokes told them the same thing.

They found Beverly and Carley Stokes at their home. Both had been shot. Carley Stokes was pronounced dead at the scene, while Beverly Stokes was taken to a hospital where she died a short time later.

Sheriff Jason Smith, who was sworn in less than a week ago, told WWL Louisiana Colby Stokes also confessed to the shooting on video. He added that Stokes was not a stranger to the Sheriff’s Office.

“He’s been in and out of jail,” he said, referencing “past mental health” struggles and “some drug and alcohol abuse.” In 2018, WPSO posted Stokes’ photo on Facebook with a description of a recent arrest for a burglary, in which multiple firearms were stolen. He was 17 at the time.

Now, he is facing two murder charges for the deaths of his grandparents. ”This family, they’re on both sides of this,” said Smith, “not only have they been victimized by it, they’ve also perpetrated it, so it’s a very difficult circumstance to be in.”

WWL Louisiana spoke with a family member who said neither he nor any others wished to speak on camera.

Through a family friend, they passed on the message that “they are dealing with the loss of two wonderful people and just trying to process… they ask prayers at this time for everyone involved. It is a tragedy that no one should have to face.” They also provided several photos of Beverly and Carley Stokes, which show them with their arms wrapped around each other, smiling.

Sheriff Smith said he is from Mount Hermon as well and knew Carley Stokes personally. “He was very personable,” he said. “He was a former Marine, like myself, so we would always talk about that, he had worked for WST for years. He was well-known and well-liked.”

Stokes will be booked and charged with two counts of 2nd-degree murder

Anthony Holland Jr News

A suspect in the murder of Sheryl Turner, whose dismembered body was found in the Ouachita River in January has been arrested, authorities said.

Anthony Pierce Holland, Jr., 29, of West Monroe, is charged with second degree murder and booked into the Ouachita Parish jail, where he is being held without bond.

Turner’s torso was discovered by a hunter in the Ouachita River in Catahoula Parish on Jan. 24, and identified later via DNA. Turner was last seen by her family on Dec. 31, officials said. She sent a text message to her twin sister stating she had met someone in Ouachita Parish and was going to move there. Sheryl also sent a text message to a family friend saying that she had made it to West Monroe, and she would talk to him soon.

According to court documents, detectives learned that Holland made contact with the victim on Jan. 1 and picked her up from her mother’s residence in a black 2023 Toyota Corolla. Holland then returned to Ouachita Parish with the victim.

Phone records show the victim’s phone stopped transmitting on Jan. 2 at 11:26 p.m. The Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Office learned that the victim’s phone was connected to wifi near Holland’s home on Trenton Street in West Monroe.

During the investigation, Holland’s vehicle was seen on traffic cameras in an area near the location where the body was found four days before the discovery of her body. According to court documents, medical examiners confirmed that the duration of time in which the remains were in the river was consistent with the timeframe when Holland’s vehicle was seen on the traffic cameras.

Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives conducted a joint investigation with West Monroe Police Department, Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Holland was arrested Tuesday and confessed, authorities said.

The autopsy report indicated that the victim was allegedly sexually assaulted by Holland and her neck was broken.

Authorities said after his arrest, Holland allegedly admitted to picking the victim up in New Iberia and said he brought the victim to his home where they planned to engage in a relationship. Although Holland gave multiple different statements, he admitted that he committed the victim’s sexual abuse injuries, officials said.

Holland also allegedly admitted that he killed the victim inside his apartment during a sexual act. After Holland realized the victim was dead, he allegedly dismembered the victim with a large kitchen knife.

Catahoula Parish Sheriff Toney Edwards said he is grateful to everyone who helped to bring closure and justice to the family of Sheryl Turner.

“I send my heartfelt condolences to the Turner family and ask the community to keep their family in your prayers,” Edwards said.

Mansour Mbodj Charged In New Orleans Parade Murder

Mansour Mbodj is a man from New Orleans who has been charged with a murder that took place during the annual Bacchus festival. According to police reports Mansour Mbodj would allegedly open fire killing a teenager and injuring four others. Among the four shot and injured are a four-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, a 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman. Police believe that Mansour Mbodj was involved in an altercation with another person and gunfire would follow. Mansour Mbodj would be arrested at the scene with the gun in his hand.

Mansour Mbodj More News

A shooting on a carnival parade route in New Orleans on Sunday night killed one man and wounded four other people, including a four-year-old girl, according to officials.

Authorities said they had arrested a man at the scene on a weapons charge, but they stopped short of calling him the shooter.

The shooting occurred about 9.30pm local time near St Charles Avenue and Terpsichore Street, in front of an eatery and “just steps” from revellers who had congregated to watch the annual parade staged by the Krewe of Bacchus, the New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV reported.

Bacchus rolls annually on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, which in Christian cultures marks the last day before Lent.

A male thought to be between the ages of 15 and 18 was killed, the New Orleans police chief, Michelle Woodfork, said during a press briefing Monday. A four-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, a 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman were injured.

Woodfork called the shooting that marred the Bacchus parade “an isolated incident” that resulted from people having a conflict and at least one of them deciding that “the resolution … would be gunfire”.

Police officers arrested Mansour Mbodj, 21, at the scene of the shooting on a count of illegal carrying of a gun. But Woodfork said investigators had not immediately been able to determine exactly who fired and whether there was more than one shooter.

In court documents obtained by the Guardian, police said officers heard a dozen gunshots erupt at the corner of St Charles and Terpsichore before seeing Mansour Mbodj fleeing. Mbodj was looking back, they said, holding “an unknown object in his right hand”, when an officer successfully ordered him to get on the ground.

Officers said they saw Mansour Mbodj lying next to a black pistol and handcuffed him. He allegedly claimed that strangers were shooting at him and did not understand his constitutional rights before he was brought to jail to be booked, officers wrote in the records.

In Louisiana, illegal carrying of a gun is often a misdemeanor calling for up to six months in prison and a maximum fine of $500. But there are cases involving violence or prior convictions where those penalties can be enhanced.

In addition to the pistol spotted near Mansour Mbodj when he was detained, officers also recovered a second gun at the scene, Woodfork said.

One witness told WWL-TV that he heard at least a dozen shots ring out as attendees scrambled to flee the gunfire. Before the shooting, the witness said there were several confrontations around this same area that police intervened in.

“Everyone ran – everyone took cover,” Andrew Crawford told WWL-TV. “My whole family ducked. I kind of just hovered over my family, like the small children.”

New Orleans has seen gun violence at or near carnival festivities in prior years.

A 15-year-old girl died last year after being struck by a stray bullet several blocks from the Krewe of Endymion’s parade route on the Saturday before Mardi Gras, according to authorities.

Meanwhile, a man was shot dead during a parade on St Charles on Mardi Gras in 2018, less than a mile away from the spot where Sunday’s shooting occurred.

There was another mass shooting in Tennessee earlier on Sunday. One person was killed, and 10 others wounded early on Sunday morning, in two Memphis shootings that might be connected, according to CNN.

It’s unclear whether there were multiple shooters. Authorities said the motive is not yet known, USA Today reported.

On Friday, a man shot and killed six people – including his former wife and stepfather – in Arkabutla, Mississippi. The suspected shooter, identified by authorities as Richard Dale Crum, opened fire across several locations in the rural community of less than 300 people.

The New Orleans, Memphis, and Arkabutla mass shootings are among at least 82 mass shootings recorded in the US so far this year as Monday morning, averaging more than one daily, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The non-profit defines a mass shooting as four or more persons injured or killed, not including the shooter.

Joe Biden renewed calls for more substantial gun control legislation after the Mississippi shootings, saying in a statement: “Enough.”

“Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough,” the president said, employing the phrase often used by gun rights advocates in the wake of mass shootings. “Gun violence is an epidemic and Congress must act now. We need – need – commonsense gun law reforms.”
