On a Friday evening in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the life of Marvin Laverne Arnett Jr. was cut short. The 35-year-old man, known to some as 2 Marv or Slim, died on December 12, 2025, from what online sources describe as an act of gun violence. His death was reportedly the result of a drive-by shooting that occurred in the northern part of the city.
Those who knew Arnett described him as a loving, funny, charismatic, and loyal individual. By trade, he was a welder and also worked in construction.
His passing left a void in the lives of those who cherished him, prompting the creation of online memorials where memories and condolences could be shared.
Following his death, arrangements were made for services to remember his life. A viewing was scheduled for Friday, December 26, 2025, at the All Faith's Chapel of Keith D. Biglow Funeral Directors Inc. in Tulsa. A formal "Hour of Remembrance" was planned for the following day, Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the Going Hard For Christ Church.
Despite the violent nature of his death, available online information does not contain any details regarding an investigation into the drive-by shooting. There is no mention of any suspects who may have been identified or any arrests that may have been made in connection with the incident. The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain publicly undisclosed.
