A professional cornhole player with a disability as a quadruple amputee, Dayton James Webber, has been charged with first-degree murder in Maryland after allegedly shooting and killing a passenger in his car during an argument. Webber waived his extradition hearing in Virginia, where he was arrested, and will be transferred to Maryland to face the charges.

Why it matters

Webber's story as a disabled athlete who overcame challenges to become a professional cornhole player made him an inspirational figure, but now he is facing serious criminal charges that could derail his athletic career and raise questions about mental health, disability, and violence.

The details

According to police, Webber allegedly shot 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells twice in the head after a heated argument while driving in Charles County, Maryland. Webber then allegedly pulled over and asked two passengers to help remove the victim from the car, but they refused and called the police. Webber then fled the scene with Wells' body still in the car. Two hours later, a resident found Wells' body in a yard and notified authorities. Webber was later tracked down and arrested in Charlottesville, Virginia.

  • On Sunday night, the alleged shooting incident occurred in Charles County, Maryland.
  • On Thursday, Webber waived his extradition hearing in Charlottesville, Virginia.
  • It is unclear when exactly Webber will be transferred from Virginia to Maryland to face the charges.
