Who is Mr. Prada and why is he in trouble?

Narrator 0:00
So this TikToker may be going to prison for murder. Now he calls himself Mr. Prada. And Mr. Prada is 20 years old and he makes a lot of content on TikTok. He's really popular with over 4 million followers. Damn. But one day, Mr. Prada gets on camera and he does something a little strange. He shaves his head. I guess he shaves his eyebrows too. And then he posts this video.

What strange behavior did Mr. Prada exhibit?

Yo, oh my God, look like I got cancer. What the f***?
Narrator 0:29
And his followers are looking at this like, what is this guy doing? And the next day, Mr. Prada posts a carousel of photos with his shaved head. And his audience is like, yo, is this guy OK? And they start thinking maybe he's going through something, like maybe he's having some mental health issues. And then he gets on camera and he starts talking about changing his name.
My name is not Prada no more. Stop calling me that. That's not my name. That's not my name.
Narrator 0:54
And he starts talking about rebranding himself.
I'm rebranding myself to my new identity. My new identity is emo psycho twink.
Narrator 1:03
Emo psycho twink. We're just going to go ahead and keep calling him Mr. Prada. So anyway, Mr. Prada keeps making these posts every day, and every day he's acting more and more strange. Here's the thing, though. He's been pretty open about being diagnosed as bipolar.
Y'all never seen anybody that's bipolar before? See, I was trying to hide it, but it just slipped out.
Narrator 1:26
But it seems like now he's definitely letting people see him without a filter and his fans are starting to worry. But then at some point around this time, the worst thing happens to him. He goes through a really bad breakup and he seems pretty devastated.
I don't want to be this.

What happened during Mr. Prada's relationship with Dr. Nick?

Narrator 1:49
But we'll get back to him, because real quick, I want to introduce this guy. He calls himself Dr. Nick. And Dr. Nick is 69 years old, and he used to be a Catholic priest, but now he's a therapist. He works a lot with LGBTQ youths, and apparently people love him.
I'm Dr. Nick Abraham, and here's my new book, I'm Limping Very Well, Thank You.
Narrator 2:10
And one day, somehow, I don't know how, Dr. Nick and Mr. Prada meet. And no one knows what their relationship is, maybe they're friends, maybe he's counseling him, maybe something else romantic is going on as they're both openly gay. We don't actually have that information right now. But at one point, Dr. Nick goes over to Mr. Prada's apartment to meet up with him for something.

What led to the alleged murder of Dr. Nick?

Narrator 2:33
And no one knows exactly what happens when they meet. Maybe they're talking, maybe they're smashing, but allegedly something happens that makes Mr. Prada snap. And suddenly, pow, he hits Dr. Nick over the head with some blunt object. And pow, he keeps hitting him over and over again and again as hard as he can until Dr. Nick stops moving because he's unalived. And as if that isn't messed up enough, around that same time, Mr. Prada posts this video on TikTok of himself dancing. And right now, no one is sure if he posted it before or after Dr. Nick's murder. But anyway, then Mr. Prada rolls Dr. Nick up in a tarp and he drags the body out of his apartment building and he loads him into not his own car, but into Dr. Nick's car.
Narrator 3:23
And he steals the car and he drives along the highway and he dumps the body on the side of the road near a ditch, allegedly. Then he drives back home to his apartment to clean up the mess he made. The next day, someone is driving by and they spot the tarp on the side of the road and they're like, hey, that looks suspicious. So they call police. So police come out and they investigate and they find Dr. Nick's body in the tarp. And when they see the state his body is in, they know this was a murder. And they know this is Dr. Nick, so they start looking for Dr. Nick's car, because his car is missing. The next day, they spot it in some surveillance footage, and it's parked in a local shopping center.

What evidence is there of Mr. Prada's actions?

Narrator 4:05
And they're able to get some footage of the person driving the car, aka Mr. Prada. But at this point, police don't know who Mr. Prada is. To them, he's just some random guy. So they release some screenshots of this footage to the public on social media, Like, hey, does anyone know who this guy is? And almost immediately people respond like, yeah, that's Mr. Prada.
