Later that night, Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier is shot to death in his cruiser, allegedly by Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Prosecutors say they steal an SUV at gunpoint from a Cambridge gas station. The driver is held for around 30 minutes, then released unharmed.

In April 19, 2013: Tsarnaevs exchange fire with authorities who have tracked them to Watertown. Tamerlan, who is run over by his younger brother dies.
