<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nA professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in Maryland, after authorities said an argument inside a moving car ended with a passenger being shot and his body later found in a residential yard. <\/p>\n Dayton Webber, 27, was driving a car in La Plata on the night of March 22 when he allegedly shot the front-seat passenger, Bradrick Michael Wells, during an argument, according to the Charles County Sheriff\u2019s Office. In a detailed statement<\/a>, authorities said: \u201cOn March 22 at 10:25 p.m., 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.\u201d A preliminary investigation found the witnesses had been sitting in the back seat when \u201cthe driver, Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata, shot and killed the front seat passenger during an argument.\u201d After the shooting, Webber pulled over near Radio Station Road and Llano Drive and asked the passengers to help remove the victim from the vehicle. <\/p>\n Dayton Webber, a professional cornhole player\/ Image: American Cornhole League<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHowever, the witnesses refused, got out of the car, and left the scene,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said, adding that Webber then drove off with the victim still inside the car. Nearly two hours later, a resident in the 10000 block of Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall called 911 to report a body in a yard. Officers responding to the scene found Wells, 27, of Waldorf, who was pronounced dead at the scene. \u201cAll occupants of the car are known to each other,\u201d authorities said. <\/p>\n Following the discovery of the body, detectives obtained a warrant for Webber\u2019s arrest on murder allegations. His vehicle was later tracked to Charlottesville, where he was located at a hospital \u201cseeking treatment for a medical issue\u201d. Authorities said: \u201cUpon being released from the hospital, Webber was arrested by officers with the Albemarle County Police Department and was charged as a fugitive from justice.\u201d Police added that an officer had reviewed security footage from a nearby gas station, recognised the suspect and located him in the area. He was taken into custody without incident and is now awaiting extradition back to Maryland. Webber is expected to face first-degree murder, second-degree murder and related charges. The investigation remains ongoing. <\/p>\n Webber is a competitor in the American Cornhole League, which described the case as \u201can extremely serious matter.\u201d \u201cOur thoughts are with all those impacted, including the family and loved ones of Bradrick Michael Wells,\u201d the league said in a statement, adding that it would not comment further while the case remains active. Webber, who lost all four limbs as an infant due to a severe streptococcus pneumonia blood infection, had built a profile in the sport and was previously described by the league as \u201cunstoppable.\u201d In a 2023 essay<\/a>, he said doctors had given him a 3% chance of survival after the infection. His YouTube channel<\/a>, which features videos titled \u201cNo hands no feet shooting,\u201d shows him firing firearms, and documents aspects of his life and sporting career. <\/p>\n Authorities have asked anyone with further information to contact investigators, while Webber remains in custody pending extradition. No defence statements have yet been issued, and public defenders associated with earlier cases involving Webber did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The case is continuing as investigators piece together the events leading up to the shooting.<\/div>\nShooting inside car and body found hours later<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
