According to the Boston police statement released on Thursday, Dealmeida was captured after the bystander recognized her as matching the suspect's description, pursued her, restrained her, and alerted law enforcement officers. The police described the suspect as a white female, about 5 feet tall, wearing a black thin hoodie with the hood covering her head, blue jeans, and a white disposable surgical mask.
