Police have arrested the ex-boyfriend of the rookie corrections officer, Alastasia Bryan, 25, who was assassinated in Georgetown 10 days ago, according to a report by DNA Info.

Keon Richmond, 34, was evading police in a home in Flatbush on East 58 Street. U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force, which includes NYPD detectives, found him there today at around 1pm, according to DNA Info sources.

Richmond, who has a history of abusing former girlfriends as well as Bryan, is suspected to have orchestrated the attack in which a gunman approached Bryan while she was sitting in her new Nissan Infiniti on Avenue L and East 73 Street, and pumped five bullets into the driver’s side window.

He was taken to the 63rd Precinct where he is reportedly being held on charges that he destroyed a 2013 Nissan Maxima that belonged to another ex of his.

Bryan reported the BMW she was leasing for him stolen after they broke up and he angrily refused to give it back, according to DNA Info.

Richmond once threatened Bryan that he would run her off the road when she got off work as a security guard at Kingsborough community College, which he did try to do. According to DNA Info, he once raided the Jamaica, Queens home of an ex-girlfriend. He shredded her clothes and furniture.
