Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev (/ˌtæmərˈlɑːnˌtsɑːrˈnaɪɛf/; October 21, 1986 – April 19, 2013)[note 1] was a Russian-born terrorist of Chechen and Avar descent[3][4] who, with his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, planted pressure cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.[1][5][6][7] The bombings killed three spectators and injured 264 others.[8][9]
Shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investigation released images of the Tsarnaev brothers in connection with their investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings, the brothers killed an MIT policeman, carjacked an SUV, and engaged in a shootout with the police in the Boston suburb of Watertown. During the shootout, Tamerlan was captured but died, partly as a result of his brother driving over him. A MBTA police officer was critically injured by friendly fire during Dzhokhar's escape.[10][11] Dzhokhar was injured in the shootout and was later found, arrested, and hospitalized on the evening of April 19 after an unprecedented manhunt in which thousands of police officials searched a 20-block area of Watertown.[12] In custody, Dzhokhar allegedly said during questioning that he and his brother also intended to detonate explosives in Times Square in New York City.[13] Dzhokhar reportedly told authorities that he and his brother were radicalized, at least in part, by watching lectures by Anwar al-Awlaki.[14][15]
