i killed him vs i kills him

The correct phrase is "I killed him." The verb "killed" is the past tense form of the verb "kill." In this context, the past tense is needed to indicate that the action of killing already happened in the past. "I kills him" is incorrect because "kills" is the present tense form of the verb, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
