• Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Template:Lang-ru), 26 years old, born October 21, 1986
• Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Template:Lang-ru), 19 years old, born July 22, 1993.

The brothers are Ethnic Chechens 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, where they applied for refugee status and settled in Massachusetts, with Tamerlan living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the past ten years. They had previously lived in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan, and Makhachkala, Dagestan. Both brothers are Muslims.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during a massive manhunt launched in the early hours of April 19. He 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.

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.

After the photos were released, two people inflicted multiple gunshot wounds on Sean Collier, 26, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Department officer from Somerville, Massachusetts, who was seated in his police car on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, near the Stata Center (Building 32) on April 18 at 10:48 p.m. EDT (02:48 UTC, April 19). Collier was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in nearby downtown Boston, where he was pronounced dead. The police have not yet said whether they have evidence linking the perpetrators of this murder with the suspects of the marathon bombing.

At a point in time after this murder, the suspects carjacked a silver Mercedes SUV in Cambridge and forced the owner to use his ATM card to obtain $800 in cash. They released the man after the ATM cash limit was reached. The suspects told the man that they were responsible for the Boston bombings. Police chased the vehicle to Watertown, Massachusetts. Police in Watertown reported that they exchanged gunfire with two suspects following the MIT shooting, with explosions and automatic weapon fire heard. Later in the night, The Boston Globe reported that the shooting suspects were the same men being sought in the Marathon bombings. A Watertown resident observed the two suspects exchanging gunfire with police and throwing a bomb at them, which exploded. One suspect, Tamerlan, was captured; the other, Dzhokhar, managed to escape either in the SUV or by foot. A transit police officer, identified as 33-year-old Officer Richard H. Donahue Jr., was critically wounded, and was taken to Mount Auburn Hospital, where he was described as "remain in stable condition".

During the morning of April 19, after the car chase and exchange of fire with law enforcement, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was taken by police to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he died of multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury. The FBI released additional photos of the two suspects during the Watertown incident. Early on April 19, Watertown residents received reverse 911 calls asking them to stay indoors.

Thousands of law enforcement personnel participated in a door-to-door manhunt in Watertown, as well as following up other leads, including at the house the brothers shared in Cambridge. The father of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers, Anzor Tsarnaev, speaking from his home in Makhachkala in Dagestan, encouraged his son to give up peacefully: "Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia." NBC News reports seven IEDs were recovered in the searches so far: some in Watertown and some at the Tsarnaevs' house in Cambridge.

On the morning of April 19, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick asked residents of Watertown and adjacent cities and towns (Boston, Belmont, Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, and Waltham) to "shelter in place". The entire public transit network as well as most Boston taxi service was suspended, as was Amtrak service to and from Boston. Logan International Airport remained open. Universities, schools, many businesses, and other facilities were closed.

The manhunt ended on the evening of April 19, 2013, when authorities surrounded Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who had taken refuge under the plastic cover of a Watertown resident's boat that was on a trailer in a backyard. He was discovered by the boat's owner, David Henneberry, when, shortly after the "shelter-in-place" order was rescinded, Henneberry stepped outside of his home at 67 Franklin St. in Watertown and noticed that the tarp covering the boat was loose, and the cords securing the tarp had been cut. When Henneberry lifted the tarp and looked into the boat, he saw a human form lying in a pool of blood, and promptly notified police. Tsarnaev's presence was later verified through thermal imaging cameras. He was taken into custody around 8:42 p.m. EDT after a standoff, and transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where he was listed in serious condition.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has not been read a Miranda warning, as federal law enforcement officials are invoking the "public safety exception". United States Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain suggested that Tsarnaev, a U.S. citizen, should be tried as unlawful enemy combatant rather than criminal, preventing him from appointment of counsel.
