North Carolina officials released the heartbreaking 911 call from the March 25 I-95 road rage shooting that left a mother of six dead after she was shot in the head.

WPDE released the audio, in which Ryan Eberly can be heard telling a 911 Robeson County dispatcher his wife, Julie, had just been shot in the head while sitting passenger side by someone while driving.

“My wife is shot, she’s bleeding badly, I need help NOW!” Eberly begs the operator. “She’s shot in the head, I’m trying to stop the bleeding.”

“She’s not responsive” he tells the operator.

“Keep breathing Julie, I’m right here, we’re getting help” he pleads with his wife, who Eberly said had labored breathing.

“Stay with me!” an audibly emotional Eberly begs his wife as the dispatcher walks him through emergency care. Eberly quickly becomes unconsolable, screaming to his wife to “keep breathing!”

Eberly soon realizes Julie’s breathing was slowing down and cries out “oh my–” as the dispatcher tries to keep him calm and assure him help is on the way.

“She’s not breathing” Eberly screams in disbelief. “Oh my god!”

Eberly begins chest compressions on his wife and tries to administer CPR before again screaming that he needed immediate help.

“Julie, come on” a distraught Eberly screams. “You guys gotta hurry, please!”

Julie was taken to UNC Southeastern where she died, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Department.

Police say Dejywan R. Floyd, 29, pulled up to the passenger side of Eberly’s car, “rolled down his window and fired multiple shots into the passenger door.”

Floyd was arrested Thursday and is charged with first degree murder and discharging a weapon into an occupied property, according to police. (RELATED: REPORT: Man Punches Through Driver’s Window, Beats Him Up In Road Rage Incident)

“This was an innocent family from Pennsylvania headed to the beach for a vacation,” Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said in a statement. “Thankfully they had left their six children at home with grandparents but now these kids have to live with the thought of their mother being murdered in such a cowardly and senseless way.”

The couple was supposed to be celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary, Eberly told WGAL.

The incident began when Eberly’s vehicle came close to Floyd’s vehicle while Eberly tried to merge into a lane, Eberly told WGAL.

“I changed lanes, and a car was coming behind me. I didn’t see that he was going around me. I pushed him to the shoulder mistakenly. As soon as I was able, I gave him room to get back on the highway. No car contact,” Eberly said.

Eberly vowed to seek justice.

“I need, as a husband, to do everything in my physical power to do whatever I can to bring her justice.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
