Mariano Gonzalez was near the scene and stopped to help.

“When I pulled him out, with the help of another guy we put him on the floor and I told him to just keep breathing, breathe, breathe because somehow in my experience in life when you’re out or semi-out you can probably hear somebody say something to you and if somebody says breathe then you hold on to that,” Gonzalez said.

Houston Police said Mouton and the suspected shooter were engaged in a road rage incident and used their cars as weapons.

The alleged shooter was identified as Jorge Joya, 45.

Joya was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Gonzalez said news of Mouton’s passing was painful.

“It hurts, it hurts because I felt good telling this story and now it doesn’t feel good telling the story anymore because it hurts,”  Gonzalez said.

Houston police said homicide detectives are now involved in the case and charges could be upgraded.

Gonzalez told KPRC 2 he hopes to connect with Mouton’s family someday, even if it was just for a warm embrace.

“Just a hug. Just a hug,” Gonzalez said.
