The maniac dad who cops said heartlessly slaughtered his wife and two adorable children was tracked down and busted in Texas Monday night while trying to flee to his native Mexico, sources said.
Miguel Mejias-Ramos, 28, who allegedly butchered his wife Deisy Garcia and their two daughters in their Queens apartment, was nabbed by a Fayette County trooper late Monday about 60 miles west of Houston, the Fayette Sheriff’s office said Tuesday.
Ramos was driving in a stolen car with New York license plates trying to make it to Mexico, where he was born, sources said. His police mug shot shows a large bandage on the right side of his neck.
Sheriff Keith Koronek said Texas authorities had been “pinging” the madman’s cell phone and located him about 9:30 p.m. local time on Interstate 10 south of La Grange.
Trooper Greg Trojacek spotted the vehicle and he and local deputies took the suspect – also known as Alex Jiminez – into custody without incident.
NYPD detectives were en route to the Fayette County Jail in La Grange to interview the suspect. It was unclear when he would be brought back to New York.

The man’s 21-year-old wife and two little girls were discovered Sunday night by Garcia’s uncle in their home on Sutphin Boulevard in South Jamaica.
The mom was found on the floor of one bedroom, while the girls, Danielle and Yoselin, were on a bed in another room.
All three victims had been stabbed several times, and two bloody knives were left in each of the rooms at the victims’ sides, law-enforcement sources said.
Garcia’s friend Diana Villa, a fellow parishioner at Iglesia Naciones Unidas en Cristo, said the mother was terrified of Mejias-Ramos.
Garcia called cops to the residence twice last year, in May and November, with domestic-violence complaints against Mejias-Ramos, police said, but he was not arrested either time.
