Magna, Utah — Tuesday a man was killed by his wife at a martial arts studio in Magna.
According to Unified police, Cynthia Vincent, 41, called 911 around 12:30 a.m. to say she had shot her husband at the studio location at 9145 West Magna Main Street because her husband, Michael, had assaulted her.
Upon arrival at Vincent’s House of Goju, officers found Michael Vincent’s body just inside the main entrance of the studio, with a gun lying next to him. Cynthia Vincent confirmed the gun was the weapon she had used to shoot her husband.
According to Vincent’s probable cause affidavit, Michael strangled her before she retrieved a gun to “defend herself”. She claimed her husband lunged at her, leading her to shoot him one time.
The police report says the only indicator of an assault was a “large scratch” under Cynthia Vincent’s chin.
Cynthia Vincent was arrested and will be charged with murder following the death of her husband.
A post to the studio’s Facebook page Tuesday read “Due to unexpected circumstances the dojo will be closed. Watch here for any updates.”
