A professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee has been charged with murder following the fatal shooting of a man in Maryland.
Just before 10.30pm on March 22, officers were flagged down by two people near La Plata Road and Radio Station Road in La Plata, Maryland, according to a statement from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
A “preliminary investigation” revealed the two witnesses were in the back seat of the car when the driver, 27-year-old quadruple amputee Dayton James Webber, allegedly shot and killed the front seat passenger during a heated exchange.
According to the witnesses, Mr Webber pulled over and asked them to help pull the victim out of the car, however, they refused and left the scene. Mr Webber reportedly drove off with the victim still in the car. All occupants of the car are known to each other, police said.
After two hours of searching the nearby areas, officers were made aware of a body that had been found in a yard near Charlotte Hall.
The victim was identified as 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells of Waldorf, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives located Mr Webber’s car in Charlottesville, Virginia, and found the accused seeking treatment at a nearby hospital shortly after.
“Upon being released from the hospital, Webber was arrested by officers with the Albemarle County Police Department and was charged as a fugitive from justice,” police said.
“He is awaiting extradition to Charles County where he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related charges. “
Mr Webber became a professional cornhole player as an adult after overcoming a “serious blood infection and undergoing a quadruple amputation as a baby”, he said in a 2023 essay for TODAY.
“I have been a quadruple amputee since contracting a serious streptococcus pneumonia blood infection when I was 10 months old,” Mr Webber wrote.
“As doctors rushed to save my life, they realised they needed to amputate my arms and legs to slow the infection. They told my parents there was only a three per cent chance that I’d survive.”
Despite having all four limbs amputated, Mr Webber taught himself how to do “various tasks” including writing, driving, and even shooting a handgun as seen in videos posted to his YouTube.
