Age, Biography, and Wiki
Dzhokhar Anzorovich Tsarnaev was born on July 22, 1993. He and his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev carried out the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, detonating two powerful improvised explosive devices near the marathon's finish line. The attack killed three people and injured over 500 others. Following the bombing, a massive manhunt ensued. Dzhokhar was eventually captured hiding in a boat in the backyard of a Watertown, Massachusetts, residence after a violent shootout that resulted in the death of his brother Tamerlan. Dzhokhar was convicted of 30 charges, including use of a weapon of mass destruction, and was sentenced to death—a sentence that was initially vacated but later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. During questioning, he stated that he and his brother were motivated by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and that they were self-radicalized from online extremist materials.

Height, Weight & Measurements
Public records and reports about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s exact height, weight, and personal physical measurements are not broadly detailed in the available sources. Generally, such physical statistics have not been a focal point in public information about him.
Tsarnaev was described as "normal" and popular by some fellow students. Others described him as "creepy." His friends said he sometimes smoked marijuana, liked hip hop, and did not talk about politics. Many friends and other acquaintances at first found it inconceivable that he could be one of the two bombers, calling it "completely out of his character". He was not perceived as foreign, spoke American English without an accent, was sociable, and was described by peers as "[not] 'them'. He was 'us'. He was Cambridge."
Tsarnaev, who had been shot and was bleeding badly from wounds to his left ear, neck and thigh, was taken into federal custody. He was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston, where he was treated in the intensive-care unit. He was in serious but stable condition. According to one of the nurses, he cried for two days straight after waking up. According to a doctor that treated him, Tsarnaev had a skull-base fracture, as well as injuries to the middle ear, a portion of his C1 vertebra, the pharynx, and the mouth; he also had a soft tissue injury and a small vascular injury.

Dating & Relationship Status
There is limited public information regarding Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s dating or relationship status prior to the Boston Marathon bombing. His personal life has remained largely private in public discourse, overshadowed by his criminal activities and trial.
In the years following World War II, the Tsarnaev family had been forcibly moved from Chechnya by the Soviet Union to the Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. Anzor and Zubeidat moved peripatetically across Central Asia during the late 20th century. The parents also had two daughters. The family raised their children as Muslims; after the attack, a relative described Anzor as a "traditional Muslim" who objected to extremism.
Tsarnaev spent the first years of his life in Kyrgyzstan. In 2001, the family moved to Makhachkala, Dagestan, in the Russian Federation. In April 2002, the Tsarnaev parents and Dzhokhar went to the United States on a 90-day tourist visa. Anzor Tsarnaev successfully applied for asylum, citing fears of deadly persecution due to his ties to Chechnya. Tamerlan had been left in the care of his uncle Ruslan in Kyrgyzstan and arrived in the U.S. about two years later. The parents then filed for asylum for their four children, who received "derivative asylum status". They settled on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Tamerlan lived until his death.
During the sentencing phase, the jury heard from victims of the bombing and Tsarnaev's friends and relatives. Tsarnaev, who had displayed little emotion throughout his trial, appeared to weep when his relatives testified on his behalf on May 4, 2015. Bill and Denise Richard, parents of Martin Richard (the youngest of the three killed in the bombings and one of the two people killed by Dzhokhar's bomb, the other person being Chinese-exchange student Lingzi Lu), urged against a death sentence for Tsarnaev. They stated that the lengthy appeals period would force them to continually relive that day, and would rather see Tsarnaev spend life in prison without parole (possibility of release), and waive his right to appeal.
On May 15, 2015, the jury sentenced Tsarnaev to death by lethal injection on six of 17 capital counts. According to the verdict forms completed by the jurors, three of 12 believed that Tsarnaev had taken part in the attack under his brother's influence; two believed that he had been remorseful for his actions; two believed that Tamerlan, not Dzhokhar, had shot and killed Officer Collier; three believed that his friends still care about him; one believed that Tsarnaev's mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, was to be blamed for the brothers' actions; one believed that Tsarnaev would never be violent again in prison.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev does not maintain any known social network presence following his arrest and imprisonment. Prior to the bombing and his capture, little is documented about his use of social media or online platforms beyond extremist content he reportedly accessed for bomb-making instructions.
Education
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remains a highly controversial and notorious figure due to his role in one of the most significant terrorist attacks in recent American history. His story is a grim reminder of the complexities surrounding domestic terrorism and radicalization.
Tsarnaev attended Cambridgeport Elementary School and Cambridge Community Charter School's middle school program. At Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a public high school, he was an avid wrestler and a Greater Boston League winter all-star. He sometimes worked as a lifeguard at Harvard University.
Tsarnaev enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in September 2011. He majored in marine biology with the intent to become a director but later changed to nursing.
At the time of the bombing, Dzhokhar was a sophomore living in the UMass Dartmouth's Pine Dale Hall dorm. He was struggling academically, having a 1.09 GPA and receiving seven failing grades over three semesters, including Fs in Principles of Modern Chemistry, Introduction to American Politics, and Chemistry and the Environment and had an unpaid bill of $20,000 to the university. He also sold marijuana.
Tsarnaev continued to tweet after the bombings, and sent a tweet telling the people of Boston to "stay safe". He returned to his university after the bombing and remained there until April 18, when the FBI released pictures of him and Tamerlan at the marathon. During that time, he used the college gym and slept in his dorm; his friends said that he partied with them after the attacks and looked "relaxed".
