ezs note:  Fortunately, Christopher Lamar Smith has an excellent mug shot taken of him.  There are two distinct scars, one of which goes from the hairline to the inner left eyebrow, the other just below right eye to just above the right lip - kind of a reverse half-moon pattern.  If you see him, do NOT approach him - find a safe place and call the police - thanks.
