A so-called professional cornhole player who also happens to be a quadruple amputee has been accused of murder in Maryland, Us Weekly has confirmed.
Dayton Webber has been accused of shooting Bradrick Michael Wells to death on Saturday, March 22, at 10:25 p.m., according to Charles County officials. Both are 27, cops said.
“Officers with the La Plata Police Department were flagged down by two people near the area of La Plata Road and Radio Station Road in La Plata,” reads a statement from investigators. “A preliminary investigation revealed the witnesses were in the back seat of a car when the driver,” identified as Webber, “shot and killed the front seat passenger during an argument.”
The statement adds that “Webber pulled over in the area of Radio Station Road and Llano Drive and asked the passengers to help pull the victim out of the car; however, the witnesses refused, got out of the car, and left the scene. Webber then fled with the victim still in the car.”
The people who flagged down police said all of the occupants of the car “are known to each other.”
After two hours of searching, police received a 911 call from a homeowner in Charlotte Hall who had a dead body on his lawn.
Police who responded to the call found Wells, “who was pronounced deceased at the scene. Detectives from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Webber’s arrest, and located Webber’s car in Charlottesville, Virginia. Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue.”
After he was discharged from the hospital, cops arrested Webber as a fugitive from justice.
He is awaiting extradition to Charles County, where “he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related charges,” the statement explained.
Anyone who may have information pertinent to the investigation are encouraged to call (301) 609-6453. Tipsters who want to remain anonymous may contact Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS.
Police have not explained how Webber managed to drive a car or fire a weapon.

Webber was only 10 months old when he underwent a quadruple amputation of his limbs after a blood infection. Today, he’s a player in the professional American Cornhole League, which has had a contract with ESPN since 2016.
He appeared on NBC’s Today show in 2023.
“People often underestimate me when they see me — no matter the context,” he said to Today. “As doctors rushed to save my life, they realized they needed to amputate my arms and legs to slow the infection. They told my parents there was only a 3% chance that I’d survive. For four months in the hospital, I fought and eventually overcame the infection. I learned how to do things, such as writing, on my own. I even taught myself how to drive by racing go-karts.”
He explained that “When I play cornhole, I rely on a hoverboard to navigate the arena, shunning the prosthetics outside of competition, too. I do sometimes use a wheelchair, such as when I go hunting or fishing. This chair has tracks like a tank so I can maneuver it on uneven terrain. I can take it in the snow, through creeks and up hills.”
