A 27-year-old quadruple amputee who plays professional cornhole is accused of fatally shooting a passenger in the front seat of a car the suspect was driving.

Detectives in Maryland charged Dayton James Webber with killing 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells, then asking two witnesses riding in the backseat of his vehicle to help remove the victim from the car. When the witnesses refused and exited Webber’s automobile, he fled with the victim still seated next to him, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

Wells’ remains were discovered a couple hours later when authorities received a 911 call about a body being spotted in a Maryland yard.

Charles County detectives said they located Webber’s car in Charlottesville, Virginia, and got a warrant for his arrest. The suspect was found seeking treatment for an undisclosed medical issue in a nearby hospital. The “fugitive from justice” was apprehended for extradition to Maryland.

Webber, also 27, was reportedly arguing with Wells prior to Sunday’s shooting. Authorities said Monday that he was charged with murder.

ESPN profiled Webber in a 2023 story about his success in cornhole despite having grown up with four partial limbs. His parents said doctors amputated their son’s arms and legs after the boy contracted a serious blood infection when he was 10 months old.

Video of Webber competing shows him grabbing bean bags with the stumps of his half-missing arms and hurling the objects through the air and into the hole of the slanted wood boards to score points in the sport.

Police didn’t offer specifics about Wells’ shooting or the disposal of his body.

“Who is Dayton Webber?” his mother Natalie Webber said in ESPN’s 2023 report. “Dayton Webber is a beast. He’s strong. He’s determined. To me that’s like beast mode.”
