The Boston Marathon bombings are still remembered more than a decade after the tragedy. The bombings, orchestrated by two brothers, left three dead and hundreds injured on April 15, 2013, near the marathon finish line.

The Netflix documentary American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing was released around the 10th anniversary of the tragedy. The three-part series delved into the massive manhunt that followed the terrorist attack to find the Boston Marathon bombers.

According to The New York Times, police were conducting an intensive search for Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The brothers were 26 and 19 years old at the time, respectively. The shootout in Watertown left Tamerlan fatally wounded, while Dzhokhar managed to escape by running over his older brother. Tamerlan was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead shortly after. After Dzhokhar's disappearance, authorities launched a massive manhunt with hundreds of police officers scattered across New England. He was eventually found near Watertown, Massachusetts, and taken into custody.
