In an instant, another day at work at a Venice construction site became a scene of horror. “Marvin was a family man, and he worked hard to take care of his family, especially his daughter,” said Mario Recinos, a co-worker and close friend. Investigators canvassed the streets around the construction site, but the shooter remains at large. Police described the shooter as a black man 25 to 30 years old. The slaying of Ponce was the sixth homicide in Venice during the last 12 months, according to The Times’ Homicide Report database.
