Police say a Brooklyn man they believe was involved in the murder of his father has been arrested after a monthlong search.

Joseph Adams, 26, is being charged with murder, concealment of a human corpse, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. He was tracked down to Louisiana.

Police believe he killed his father, 49-year-old Christopher Adams. Last month, he was found wrapped in a black bag on the sidewalk near Van Sinderen Avenue and Herkimer Street and pronounced dead on the scene.

Christopher Adams lived two blocks away from his son in East Flatbush.

Joseph Adams is in police custody.
