The suspect in the broad-daylight May execution of a Virginia man on the Upper West Side has been arrested, authorities said.

Donta King, 24, was nabbed in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Aug. 1, exactly three months after Ronald Thomas, 27, was shot in the head in a Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 at West 102nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue, cops said.

King was transported back to Manhattan on Friday by the Regional Fugitive Task Force, and charged with murder, assault, reckless endangerment and criminal use of a firearm, authorities said.

Thomas had just been brawling with his girlfriend when a gunman in another vehicle shot him.
