PER CURIAM: Antonio Moultrie appeals his conviction for murder, arguing the circuit court erred in admitting portions of a recording of a 911 call made by the victim just after being stabbed.� We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Crawford v.

Washington, 547 U.S. 813, 822 (2006) ("Statements are nontestimonial when made in the course of police interrogation under circumstances objectively indicating that the primary purpose of the interrogation is to enable police assistance to meet an ongoing emergency."); Rule 803, SCRE ("The following are not excluded by the hearsay rule . . . (1) Present Sense Impression.� A statement describing or explaining an event or condition made while the declarant was perceiving the event or condition, or immediately thereafter; (2) Excited Utterance.� A statement relating to a startling event or condition made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement caused by the event or condition.").� ��

AFFIRMED.
