A strong-arm robbery is a higher offense than shoplifting. The item Brown is suspected of stealing is more expensive than what teenagers** typically shoplift and it was probably kept behind the cash register which is why the strong-arm robbery would have taken place.
Either way,
there is no evidence the officer knew Brown was a suspect in that robbery. So, the being a suspect in the robbery is moot if talking about the shooting for anything other than possibly influencing how Brown responded to the officer.
**I typically don't call 18 year old "teenagers". While there is "teen" behind the age, they are legal adults. I believe people keep saying "teenager" for Michael Brown to youth-alize him and, similar to what KAPPAcino is saying, make him seem like an innocent child.
