FERGUSON, Mo. (CBS St. Louis/AP) — Ferguson police released the name of the officer that fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown, while also revealing that Brown was a suspect in a convenience story robbery over a $48.99 box of cigars.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said Friday morning that Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot the unarmed African-American teen last Saturday following a convenience store robbery call. Wilson has been with the Ferguson Police Department for the past six years and previously had no disciplinary action taken against him.

Wilson has been on administrative leave since the shooting.

Jackson added that Wilson was treated for injuries that occurred on Saturday.

Jackson said Wilson, along with other officers, was called to the area after a 911 call reporting a “strong-arm robbery” at a nearby convenience store.

    There is always more to the story. Too bad the truth won't change anything.

    Even if he was a thug, he was a thug who was murdered while he was trying to surrender.
