Officials confirm that the suspect on the loose in Watertown, Massachusetts is 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev Russian descent.

He was born in Kyrgyzstan, NBCNews reporter Chuck Todd tweets. Business Insider publishes a wanted poster put up for the suspect, listing him as “possibly armed and dangerous.”

The poster features a recent photograph and mentions that he is dressed in a hoodie.

The Tsarnaevs have been living in the US legally, and the older brother has been identified as 26-year-old Tamerlan Tzarnaev. They are both legal, permanent residents of the United States.

The pair have been living in the US for more than 10 years, since 2002 or 2003. Tamerlan has gained legal residency in 2007, and may have escaped problems with the law in the form of a domestic violence arrest back home.
