Shocking Crime: Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Player Accused of Murder and Gruesome Cover-Up

In a shocking turn of events, a 27-year-old man from Maryland, who previously gained attention for his impressive ability to play cornhole without arms or legs, is now facing serious criminal charges. Dayton James Webber is accused of fatally shooting his friend, Bradrick Michael Wells, and leaving the body on the roadside.

Authorities have charged Webber with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and additional related offenses in connection with the tragic death of Wells, who was also 27 years old. This information was confirmed by the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident reportedly occurred while Webber was driving with Wells and two other individuals in the car. According to police reports, a heated argument broke out between Webber and Wells, culminating in Webber allegedly shooting Wells as the two backseat passengers witnessed the event. Webber then stopped the vehicle near Radio Station Road and Llano Drive in La Plata, attempting to enlist the passengers’ help in disposing of Wells’ body. The passengers refused and promptly exited the car, later flagging down law enforcement around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, as reported by deputies.

Approximately two hours after the initial report, a resident in the 10000 block of Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall discovered the body in their yard and alerted the authorities. Upon arrival, police found Wells and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Detectives swiftly acted by securing a warrant for Webber’s arrest. They tracked down his vehicle in Charlottesville, Virginia, and subsequently located Webber at a hospital where he was being treated for an undisclosed medical condition.

He is currently in the Albemarle County Jail on a fugitive from justice charge. He is awaiting extradition back to Charles County.

Webber, who became a quadruple amputee when he was 10 months old after suffering a blood infection, is a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League. Cornhole is known as a lawn game in which players toss beanbags at an angled platform with the goal of getting the bag through a hole in the middle of the board.

“In many ways, surprising people has always been part of my life. I went from overcoming a serious blood infection and undergoing a quadruple amputation as a baby to becoming a professional athlete as an adult,” he wrote in an essay for the “Today” Show.

He started playing in the backyard before moving on to tournaments and playing professionally for the ACL. Webber harkened back to when he nearly lost his life as a baby and how he navigated through life after his amputation.

“As doctors rushed to save my life, they realized they needed to amputate my arms and legs to slow the infection. They told my parents there was only a 3% chance that I’d survive,” he wrote. “For four months in the hospital, I fought and eventually overcame the infection. I learned how to do things, such as writing, on my own. I even taught myself how to drive by racing go-karts.”

The American Cornhole League wrote in a statement on social media that it was aware of the allegations against Webber.

“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 statement said.
