Patshawn McMitchell, 24, was tracked down in Watertown, NY -- 30 miles from the Canadian border -- and returned to Queens on Thursday, police said.

McMitchell was charged with murder for the killing of 23-year-old Dahmel Miller, in the Queensbridge Houses on Vernon Boulevard near 40th Avenue Sept. 8.

Miller was shot in the buttocks and stomach somewhere between the front door and first floor of a building as the girl watched, according to the Daily News.

Miller was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

McMitchell was also charged with menacing, criminal contempt, harassment and acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17, reportedly due to the presence of the teen.
