A teen suspected of killing a Brooklyn man during a burglary in January has finally been nabbed in Virginia, authorities said Wednesday.

The NYPD and US Marshals picked up 17-year-old Jahkeem Scott in Richmond on Monday, according to police.

Scott is being held in the Richmond County Jail and will likely be extradited to New York on June 1, cops said.

The teen allegedly knifed Romulo Heras, 61, to death after Heras interrupted a burglary in his East New York apartment building Jan. 22, police said. Scott allegedly set a fire before fleeing the building.

Heras was found with a stab wound to the neck at around 9 a.m., shortly after the fire was extinguished in his ground-floor apartment at 59 Logan St, police said.
