1Opinion of the Court

SCHWELB, Associate Judge:

Following a bench trial, T.L.L., a juvenile,1 was found guilty of armed robbery. On appeal, he contends that the trial judge erred by denying T.L.L.’s motion to suppress identification evidence. More particularly, T.L.L. claims that the police lacked reasonable articulable suspicion to detain him for purposes of a show-up identifica*337tion by the complaining witness.
