April 19, 1993 - Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing brought mass casualties to a public event, killing three people and injuring hundreds more, many of whom suffered permanent injuries including limb loss. Tsarnaev carried out the attack alongside his older brother, and the aftermath — including a days-long manhunt that effectively shut down the Boston metropolitan area — marked one of the most disruptive domestic terrorism incidents in recent American history. He was convicted on all counts and sentenced to death in 2015.
