Around 6 p.m. ET, police knocked on Dumitru Ciuc's door — just two houses down from the tipster's residence — he told CBC News. Police ordered Ciuc and his wife to evacuate their home.
"We went up the street and one of the officers told us to go into a driveway off the street," Ciuc said.
As he left, snipers staked out positions inside his home, which provided a good view into the backyard where police believed Dzhokhar may be hiding.
When he got to the driveway, Ciuc said he heard gunshots.
FBI rescue team steps in
After the operation, Davis told reporters that police, gathering in armoured vehicles and tactical gear around the area, had set up a perimeter around the boat. Over the next hour or so, "we exchanged gunfire with the suspect who was inside the boat," he said.
Eventually, an FBI hostage rescue team stepped in. They tried to talk Dzhokhar out of the boat, but he was not communicative.
The FBI said Dzhokar Tsarnaev, suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, is now in custody. He was captured in the Boston suburb of Watertown. His brother, Tamerlan died after a firefight at another location.The FBI said Dzhokar Tsarnaev, suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, is now in custody.

The rescue team finally removed the suspect from the boat.
At some point around the time of Alben's announcement, a Watertown resident stepped out of his house after having followed the lockdown orders all day. He happened to notice blood on a boat he stored behind his house. He approached the boat, hoisted off the ground by bricks, and lifted the tarp. Inside, he saw a man covered in blood, said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.

At some point, Dzhokhar moved about a kilomtre away, hiding in the backyard, which was just outside the original search perimeter. That's why police didn't find him there during the initial search, Davis said.
