OGDEN — Ogden police announced Thursday the arrest of a person of interest in connection with a fatal grocery store robbery on Feb. 28.
The juvenile male suspect is the same person detained by police on Tuesday in connection with the killing of 65-year-old Ogden grocery store owner Satnam Singh, police said.
Singh was working at Super Groceries on Sunday when a male walked in just before midnight. Police say the two had a short conversation before the male shot and killed Singh.
Police are not releasing the suspect's identity because he is a juvenile. The suspect is being charged with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, according to a police statement.
"Criminal cases that involve juvenile arrestees are subject to different rules and legal considerations," read a statement from Ogden Police.
The suspect is currently in a juvenile detention center.

Police released surveillance video Monday afternoon showing the suspect wearing a blue surgical mask, black gloves and a gray Oakland Raiders hoodie.
