After shooting his wife, Ponce gunned down three of their daughters, aged 18 to 26, but spared the youngest daughter aged 14, police said.
The family help was also killed, police said.
Police said it was not yet clear what sparked the confrontation that led to the shooting, which they described as among the most shocking involving members of one family in the relatively peaceful central region.
