From Inspirational Athlete to Murder Suspect

Dayton James Webber survived a 3% survival chance at 10 months old when a severe blood infection required quadruple amputation of his arms and legs. The La Plata, Maryland resident defied those odds to become a Maryland State Champion in professional cornhole, competing in the American Cornhole League with ESPN coverage and national media features. On March 22, 2026, that inspirational story took a dark turn when Webber allegedly shot 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells twice in the head during an argument while driving near Radio Station Road and Llano Drive in La Plata, according to court documents and witness testimony provided to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

Timeline of Violence and Flight

Webber picked up two witnesses from work Sunday evening with Wells in the front passenger seat. During the drive, an argument erupted, culminating in Webber shooting Wells twice in the head, according to eyewitness accounts. After pulling over, Webber allegedly demanded the backseat passengers remove Wells’ body from the vehicle. The witnesses refused, exited the car, and flagged down police around 10:30 p.m., positively identifying Webber as the shooter. Webber drove off with Wells still in the vehicle, ultimately dumping the body in a resident’s yard at 10115 Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall, where it was discovered at approximately 12:41 a.m. on March 23.

Arrest and Formal Charges

Law enforcement located Webber’s vehicle in Charlottesville, Virginia, on March 23. Police found him seeking treatment at a hospital and arrested him as a fugitive from justice upon his release. Charles County authorities charged Webber with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Diane Richardson of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office confirmed investigators found no evidence anyone else was involved, stating Webber acted alone. He was arraigned in Charles County District Court and awaits extradition for formal proceedings, with no trial date set as of March 24, 2026.

Unanswered Questions and Public Intrigue

The case raises immediate questions about logistics that authorities have not publicly addressed: How did Webber drive a vehicle and fire a weapon despite having no arms or legs? Social media videos circulating before the incident show Webber handling firearms, confirming his proficiency with weapons despite his amputations. The American Cornhole League, which had promoted Webber as proof that “anyone can play, anyone can win,” issued a brief statement acknowledging awareness of the charges and sending thoughts to impacted parties, carefully distancing the organization from its former star. Wells’ family and the Charles County community now face the grim reality of a senseless death, while witnesses who refused to become accomplices endure trauma from the horrific scene they witnessed.
