Boston Lockdown: One Suspect Marathon Bomber Dead

Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev

Two brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. were named last night as the suspects who planted the ‘pressure-cooker’ bomb near the finish line of the marathon on Monday.

The older brother has been killed during the police chase and shootout Thursday night. He was found with an IED on his body.

The younger brother, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, is still at large and Boston has been put into lockdown. Authorities said that he may have explosives with him. Gov. Deval Patrick ordered a shutdown of all public transit and residents on the edges of Boston to stay indoors as a massive manhunt for the second suspect was underway.

According to NBC, the brothers are of Chechen origin who came to America as a child with his family as refugees after fleeing Chechnya for Kazakhstan.

The suspects’ uncle told the local CBS News station that the pair had lived in the country since 2001. The uncle, told one of his nephews was killed, replied that he deserved it. “He deserved his. He absolutely deserved his,” Ruslan Tsarni said. “They do not deserve to live on this earth.”
