Quad Amputee Pro Cornhole Player Faces Murder Charges in Maryland

Dayton James Webber, 27, a quadruple amputee who won the Maryland State Championship in cornhole and appeared in nationally televised matches on ESPN, was extradited to Maryland to face first- and second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf.

According to the Charles County Sheriff's Office, Webber was driving a white Tesla with three passengers Sunday night in the area of Radio Station Road and Llano Drive in La Plata when he fatally shot Wells, the front-seat passenger, during an argument. One of the rear passengers told police Webber shot Wells twice in the head, according to charging documents. Webber then pulled over and asked the two other passengers to help remove Wells from the car; they refused, left the scene and flagged down La Plata Police Department officers just before 10:30 p.m.

Webber drove off with Wells still in the car. Just after midnight, a resident on Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall called 911 to report a body in their yard. Responding officers identified the body as Wells, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives located Webber's car in Charlottesville, Virginia, and found him at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue. Albemarle County police arrested him after his release and charged him as a fugitive from justice. On March 26, Webber appeared remotely from regional jail in Albemarle County General District Court, waived extradition, and faced no charges in Virginia.

Webber, who reportedly lost all four limbs after contracting a bacterial infection in childhood, had been described as the first quadruple amputee to compete professionally in the American Cornhole League. Beyond the Maryland State Championship title, he competed in the ACL and was profiled by ESPN on "SC Featured." The ACL confirmed Webber had not been an active participant in the league since late 2024.

"This is an extremely serious matter and our thoughts are with all those impacted, including the family and loved ones of Bradrick Michael Wells," the ACL said in a statement, adding it would not comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing.
