The surving bombing suspect has been named as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass, AP reported.
Dzhokhar is the younger brother of 26-year old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was shot and killed in a gun battle with Boston police Thursday night that also ended in the death of an MIT police officer.
Dzhokhar was a registered student at UMass Dartmouth, the university confirmed.
A biology student at UMass Dartmouth described Tsarnaev as "quiet," SouthCoastToday.com reports.
A Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev of Cambridge won city scholarships according to a Cambridge government website.
In February 2011, a Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was named Student Athelete Of The Month at a Cambridge school.
It's not clear if the Boston bombing suspect and this Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are the same person.
The brothers are reportedly of Chechen background, and possibly from Turkey, and have reportedly been here legally.
They are not, as some previously speculated, connected to a missing Brown University student.
