The FBI identified a TikTok star as an alleged armed robber by his hair dye and shoes he wore in a video

• The FBI partly identified Chozen Terrell-Hannah as an alleged armed robber through online videos.
• Terrell-Hannah is known as ChozenWrld on TikTok, where he has over 150,000 followers.

The FBI identified a man who allegedly committed four robberies through his dyed hair and the shoes he wore on TikTok, among other factors, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by Insider.

Chozen Terrell-Hannah admitted to committing four armed robberies over three months after authorities raided his suspected home in Redford, Michigan last month, states the complaint, which was filed on February 23 in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Terrell-Hannah is known as ChozenWrld on TikTok, where he has over 150,000 followers and 1.6 million likes. He often posts lip sync, comedy, and dancing videos. His most recent clip was uploaded on January 27.

Dearborn Police initially identified Terrell-Hannah after receiving a tip about a possible suspect who used the Snapchat account name "Chozenn_One." Authorities found the account name had been changed to "ChozenWrld," according to the complaint, eventually leading investigators to his TikTok using the same name.

The complaint states that the FBI "positively identified" Terrell-Hannah in multiple videos where he had "half of his hair dyed pinkish purple" and otherwise matched descriptions from witnesses. In one TikTok from September 24, 2020 that featured Terrell-Hannah dancing to Thundercat's "Funny Thing," he wore a pair of white Nike shoes with red accents that were "similar in appearance to the shoes" worn in the armed robberies, according to the complaint.

The robbery locations were all in Michigan and included a 7/11 in Commerce on both December 1 and January 26, a Marathon gas station in Dearborn on January 13, and the Old West Tobacco store in Novi on February 1, according to the criminal complaint. In all these incidents, the complaint states Terrell-Hannah allegedly took out a handgun and pointed it at the store's clerk, demanding they put money into a black backpack with a pink flower design on it.

During the raid of Terrell-Hannah's suspected residence on February 23, authorities found a Glock handgun, a black backpack "with a floral pattern," and white Nike tennis shoes.

An order of detention pending trial was signed by a magistrate judge on Monday, and Terrell-Hannah is due in court for a preliminary examination on March 10, according to case information available online.

Terrell-Hannah's attorney did not respond to a request for comment.
