911 calls reveal the suspect could be heard on the call crying.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — 911 calls revealed new details in a Greensboro murder case.

Greensboro police found Brianna Laray Lee, 28, in bed upstairs in a home on Niagara Street with a gunshot wound to the face on October 15.

Lee died from her injuries on Oct. 19. Cheavez Ajee Clapp, 27, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

In the 911 calls, the suspect, Clapp can be heard crying and asking for medical assistance.

He tells dispatchers that Lee was "Just walking on the street and next thing he knew she came rushing in the home into his arms."

He then proceeds to ask the dispatcher what he can do to stop the bleeding. 

Dispatchers were able to guide him in covering the wound until police arrived nearly three minutes later.

On Tuesday, Brianna Lee's family shared the following statement with WFMY News 2:

"Brianna Laray Lee was a beautiful mother, daughter and sister who brought joy to all those who knew her. She loved her two young boys more than anything in this world. We as a family are grateful for all the great times we shared with Brianna and will ensure that her memory will forever live on with her children. We are deeply heartbroken and saddened by a senseless act of violence that ultimately took her life from us too soon. We ask at this time to keep our family and her children in your thoughts and prayers."

Police said Clapp and Lee had a personal relationship and this situation was domestic violence-related

Court documents show Clapp is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 4.
