A professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee was arrested and charged with murder in Maryland, authorities said.
Dayton James Webber, 27, was located in Virginia after a man had been found shot to death in Charles County, Maryland, on Sunday, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said. Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf, was found dead in a yard in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.
After the Charles County Sheriff’s Office obtained an arrest warrant, Webber’s car was found in Charlottesville, Virginia, and he was located at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue.
Webber was then arrested by police in Virginia and was charged as a fugitive from justice. He is awaiting extradition to Maryland, where he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and other related charges, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said.
Webber arrested after man’s body found in yard
Two people flagged down police around 10:25 p.m. on Sunday near the area of La Plata Road and Radio Station Road in La Plata, Maryland, reporting they had witnessed a deadly shooting, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators said witnesses were in the back seat of a vehicle when the driver, identified by police as Webber, allegedly shot and killed the front-seat passenger during an argument. According to police, the witnesses refused to help Webber pull the victim out of the car, and they left the scene while Webber “then fled with the victim still in the car.”
After about two hours, a resident reported a body in a yard in Charlotte Hall, about 15 miles southeast of La Plata, authorities said.
Deputies identified Wells as the victim who was found in the yard. Investigators then obtained a warrant for Webber’s arrest, and he was located and taken into custody in Virginia. An attorney for Webber wasn’t listed in Maryland as of Monday evening.
Anyone with additional details about the case is asked to call Detective R. Johnson at 301-609-6453. Tipsters who want to remain anonymous can contact the Charles County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
Webber in the American Cornhole League
Webber, a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League, was featured by ESPN in 2023. He competed in the American Cornhole League World Championships in 2021. In the ESPN profile, Webber’s family said he became a quadruple amputee after contracting a bacterial infection that led to sepsis at 10 months old.
The American Cornhole League said in a statement Monday on social media that it’s “aware of the reports regarding allegations involving Dayton 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.”
ACL continued, “At this time, this remains an active legal situation. We respect the judicial process and will not comment on specific allegations or details while proceedings are ongoing. We will provide updates if and when it is appropriate to do so, but in the meantime the league will have no further comment.”
The ACL told CBS News Baltimore that Webber hasn’t been an active participant in the league since late 2024.
