HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- Police say an 18-year-old tried to help officers catch his killer moments before his final breath in northeast Harris County.

On Sunday, Feb. 2, deputies responded to Atasca Creek Drive in the Atascocita South neighborhood around 2:00 a.m.

Harris County Homicide Detectives said neighbors reported hearing arguing, and later heard gunfire near the bayou.

While Pappillion went before a judge on Wednesday, it was revealed that the victim managed to whisper out the letter 'P.'

The 18-year-old victim was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken by LifeFlight to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
