The couple, identified by family and friends as Chris and Eva Smith, operated C&E Martial Arts Academy in the 7400 block of Old Alexandria Ferry Road. Eva Smith, 34, was stabbed at the academy about 2:30 p.m., police and friends said. The couple's 18-month-old daughter was there but was not injured, police said. No customers were there at the time. Chris Smith, 40, was in critical condition yesterday at Southern Maryland Hospital Center, Smith's mother, Essie Stone, said. She said she had been told only that he remained unconscious. Police would not say how he attempted suicide. Cpl. Arvel Lewis said police were not releasing the couple's names because the husband had not been charged. Lewis said the husband was the only suspect in the woman's death but could not be legally be arrested while he was unconscious. Stone said her son and Eva had been married about two years and lived with their child and Eva's 12-year-old son from a previous marriage. Chris Smith also has four teenage children from a previous marriage, Stone said. Jacques Chevalier II of Hyattsville said Smith had operated a martial arts academy in Landover and worked at another in Greenbelt. As a multi-level black belt, he was well known in local martial arts circles as "Master Chris," said Chevalier, who said he and his son took lessons from Smith from 1996 to 2003. Chevalier said he had not been to C&E academy but that martial arts students often used blunt swords in class. Academies keep sharper swords as decoration, he added. "I know he loved his children and his families, and he's trained so many people over the years," Chevalier said of Smith. "It seems way, way out of character for him." Stone said she can't believe her son would have stabbed his wife intentionally. "He told me he had found the woman of his life, his love," Stone said. "I thought they had a perfect marriage, but you never know with any couple." Eva Smith's parents declined an interview. The academy was closed yesterday. Someone had left fading pink roses on a white Toyota Forerunner parked out front, and wildflowers had been placed at the front door. No one answered at the couple's small brick ranch house in the 2500 block of Easton Street in the Hillcrest Heights neighborhood. Two people who worked with Smith at Life Stride Inc., a District company that provides services for the disabled, said they were surprised to hear of the incident. Shirley Johnson said she remembered him as jovial and hard-working when they worked together from 1999 until 2003. "He didn't strike me to be that type of person," Johnson said. "He joked with everybody. He got along with everyone." Staff researcher Rena Kirsch contributed to this report. --__--__-- Message: 2 Subject: RE: [The_Dojang] Poll= Mayweather vs. Hatton Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 08:28:28 -0000 From: To: Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Hatton!
