Police captured 19-year-old Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Friday night following a nearly 24-hour manhunt. He had been hiding in a boat parked in a backyard.

The bloody endgame came four days after the bombing and just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180. Tsarnaev's brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed Friday in a furious attempt to escape police.

The first images of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was alive but in serious condition, began to emerge late Friday night:
