[NY Daily News] – A man sought for shooting a 31-year-old man to death during a robbery in Queens — marking the first homicide of the new year — was behind bars Saturday after being tracked to Pennsylvania, officials said.

Members of the Pocono Mountain Regional Police picked up Dreshaun Smith, 22, in Monroe County on Thursday, according to the website The Morning Call.

Smith was captured about 110 miles from where he allegedly shot Ricky Kalisaran while trying to rob him and his brother in South Richmond Hill on Jan. 2.

The brother, 24-year-old Sunny Kalisaran, was shot in the back but survived. He was wearing a flashy gold chain believed to have caught the shooter’s eye. The brothers were shot on 124th St. near Liberty Ave. about 3:25 a.m. Ricky Kalisaran, 31, was fatally shot in the chest and bicep after arriving in New York from Guyana just two days earlier to attend his grandmom’s funeral.

Cops identified Smith as the gunman early in the investigation. The NYPD confirmed the arrest and said detectives were in the process of extraditing him back to New York, where he will be charged with murder, officials said.

As of Friday, there have been six murders citywide this year, compared to 10 during the same period last year, a 40% drop, according to NYPD statistics.
