Quadruple Amputee Shooter Drove Around with Victim's Body Before Dumping Him in a Yard, Police Say

A chilling sequence of events in Maryland has led to the arrest of a well-known professional cornhole athlete following a fatal confrontation this week.

Authorities allege that after the shooting by the quadruple amputee athlete, the suspect fled the scene with the victim still in his vehicle. Detectives are piecing together how the dispute escalated into a cross-county flight before the deceased was abandoned.

New reports suggest the pro cornhole star accused of murdering his passenger inside a Tesla fired two rounds into the man's head before pleading with bystanders to help him abandon the remains.

Premeditated Malice and Firearms Charges

Authorities have officially charged 27-year-old Dayton Webber with first and second-degree murder, alleging he acted with 'deliberately premeditated malice' when killing Bradrick Wells, also 27, this past Sunday. Webber additionally faces a weapons charge for the suspected use of a firearm during a serious offence.

Chilling court records secured by the Daily Mail provide fresh information about the deadly encounter that occurred this Sunday in La Plata, Maryland.

Court papers submitted by Detective Mark Bigelow of the Charles County Sheriff's Office explain that the suspect picked up two colleagues in his white Tesla, joining Wells, who was already sitting in the front. While the group was travelling, a 'heated argument' broke out between the two men in the front.

'During the argument, Webber pulled a gun out and shot the victim twice in the head,' the detective added. After stopping the car, the accused reportedly turned to the two witnesses—noted as 'W1' and 'W2' in the report—and asked for assistance to 'pull Wells out the vehicle, which they refused.'

Body Abandoned in Residential Garden

The pair scrambled out of the Tesla and ran away, while Webber sped off with the deceased remaining in the passenger seat. The remains of the deceased were eventually located in a garden on Newport Church Road, situated in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Law enforcement tracked the suspect to a medical facility in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he is currently held pending his return to Charles County, Maryland.

Official court records are filled with typos, including multiple instances where Charles County is written as 'Chalres' and Bradrick Wells is referred to as 'Bradwick Webber'. The report states that bystanders alerted officers at 10:35 p.m. to explain the situation: the accused had lost his temper during the row, produced a firearm, and shot Wells twice with fatal consequences.

Witnesses Identify the Shooter

One witness, referred to as W2, informed officers that 'he heard a gun shot go off.' According to the report, 'W1 and W2 both positively identified Dayton Webber as the shooter and Bradrick Wells as the victim.'

At 12:41 a.m. on 23 March, a person living on Newport Church Road returned to their house and spotted 'a body on the side of the road' showing signs of 'blood on the head and upper body.' Emergency responders rushed to the location, where they confirmed the victim had passed away.

Questions Over Physical Capabilities

Digital jail records viewed by the Daily Mail indicate that the suspect is still being held at the Albermarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail in Virginia while his transfer is arranged. The investigation in southern Maryland has prompted many to ask how a person with no limbs was capable of steering a car while handling a weapon—and how he managed to remove the victim's remains from the car without help.

Diane Richardson, a representative for the Charles County Sheriff's Office, told the Daily Mail: 'We understand it's a reasonable question. Webber is a well-documented individual on the internet. He's on YouTube and social media platforms, there's a lot of stories of him handling firearms.'

She pointed to the witness accounts of being collected by the suspect in his vehicle as proof that he is proficient at driving. Furthermore, pictures on social media show that the accused is a keen hunter, with various clips and images showing him firing rifles and handling handguns.

Suspect Handling Weapons and Evidence Collection

A video from 2024 uploaded to YouTube depicts the accused in a field, where he inserts a magazine into a firearm using one limb while resting the weapon on his leg. He is then seen lifting the device and gripping it between his left limb and right bicep. The suspect subsequently discharges the weapon by pressing down with his right arm. Once several shots have been fired, he faces the lens and grins.

When questioned on how the suspect could have operated the car while reportedly shooting Wells, Richardson indicated that detectives are still working to piece together the exact timeline of the incident.

Regarding the potential involvement of others, she noted that although it is 'early in the investigation, there is no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved.' She added that officers have seized the suspect's white Tesla SUV and moved it to a forensic laboratory for a thorough search.

From Medical Tragedy to Professional Sports

Reports indicate that the suspect lost all four limbs as an infant following a blood infection that resulted in sepsis. His arms were eventually amputated just above the elbow, allowing him to grip and manipulate objects between his upper limbs.

This unique physical ability enabled him to excel as a competitive cornhole player, eventually earning him a spot in the American Cornhole League in 2023. The well-known garden game involves players attempting to throw fabric bags, filled with corn or plastic beads, into a hole on a slanted board to earn points.
