A 22-hour manhunt came to an end on Friday night in Watertown, Massachusetts, after police captured 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the key living suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
The hunt began not long after 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar, shot and killed MIT police officer Sean Collier at the university campus in Cambridge.
The two men hijacked a black mercedes SUV and sped from the scene. They drove from Cambridge to Watertown where they were spotted by police and pursued. A shootout followed with eyewitnesses reporting as many at 70 rounds fired back and forth. One of the suspects launched an explosive device toward police.
The older brother fell to the ground after being shot in the torso by police officers during the gunfight. He was then run over by Dzhokhar who escaped from the scene in the SUV. The younger brother then abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.
Authorities locked down much of metropolitan Boston and launched an intensive door-to-door search in the Watertown neighborhood where police believed Dzhokhar to be hiding. During a lift on the lock down, a man found blood on a boat parked at a house just one block outside the perimeter of the search area. He went to investigate and found a bloodied Dzhokhar inside. He called the police.
Police confirmed the presence a living body inside the boat using thermal imaging from a helicopter. Police surrounded house and tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the suspect. Gunfire was exchanged and about two hours later, police apprehended Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody shortly after 8:30 p.m. He is now in serious condition at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge.
