Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Template:Lang-ru, born 22 July 1993) and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Template:Lang-ru, October 21, 1986 – April 19, 2013) are the main suspects in the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.
Common background
The brothers are ethnic Chechens who were born in the North Caucasus. Their parents also have two daughters. The entire Tsarnaev family, including both brothers, immigrated in 2002 to the United States. In the U.S. they applied for refugee status and settled in Massachusetts, with Tamerlan living in Cambridge, for the past ten years. They had previously lived in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan, and Makhachkala, Dagestan. Both brothers are Muslims.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was born in the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union. After arriving to the United States in 2002, he attended Bunker Hill Community College with hopes of becoming an engineer. An aspiring talented boxer, he dropped out of school to concentrate on his sport, training at the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts Center, a Lowell club. In 2010 he was the New England Golden Gloves heavyweight champion and won the Rocky Marciano Trophy. According to a 2010 photo essay about him published by Johannes Hirn in The Comment, the Graduate Student Magazine of Boston University's College of Communications, Tamerlan declared that he was working to become a naturalized citizen in time to be selected for the US Olympic boxing team. He added that he would "rather compete for the United States than for Russia", though stating that he "didn’t understand" Americans and had no American friends. He was arrested in 2009 for domestic assault and battery after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. He was a permanent resident but not a citizen of the United States. He was married to a U.S. citizen who converted from Christianity to Islam to marry him. The couple have a 3-year old daughter.
Tsarnaev was killed during a massive manhunt launched in the early hours of April 19. During the morning of April 19, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was taken by police to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he died of multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was injured and taken into federal custody following a standoff on the evening of April 19, 2013. At the time of the incident, he was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, with a major in marine biology. He was also an avid wrestler and part of the all-star wrestling team at his school. Born in Kyrgyzstan, he became a naturalized U.S. citizen on September 11, 2012. On television, his uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, living in Montgomery Village, Maryland, pleaded with Dzhokhar to turn himself in.
