Dayton Webber once said he believed God put him on this planet to inspire others to believe they could achieve anything they wanted to.
Now, the first quadruple amputee in American Cornhole League history faces murder charges after being accused of fatally shooting a man while driving in Maryland.
According to the Charles County Sheriff’s Department, Webber, of La Plata, Maryland, is alleged to have shot and killed a front-seat passenger during an argument on the evening of March 22, 2026.
Webber, 27, is a quadruple amputee whose arms and legs were removed when he was 10 months old after being given a 3% chance of survival following a bacterial infection, according to an August 2024 ESPN video feature. An American Cornhole League video posted on YouTube in 2023 called him “an unstoppable cornhole player.”
Cornhole is a game in which small bags filled with dried corn are tossed at a target consisting of an inclined wooden platform with a hole at one end.
Information posted by the sheriff’s department said two people flagged down La Plata police officers about 10:25 p.m. and said they were passengers in the back seat of a car that Webber was driving. All four knew each other, the department said.
The witnesses told the officers that Webber pulled over after the shooting and asked them to help pull the victim out of the car, the department said. Instead, “the witnesses refused, got out of the car, and left the scene,” it said.
Webber then fled with the victim still in the vehicle, the department said.
Sheriff’s department patrol officers responded, canvassing locations to which Webber might have fled.
About two hours later, a resident in nearby Charlotte Hall, Maryland, called 911 to report a body in a yard, the department said. Responding officers found the victim, 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells of Walford, dead at the scene, authorities said.
Detectives located Webber’s car about two and a half hours to the east in Charlottesville, Virginia, the department said, while Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking medical treatment.
Officers in Albemarle County, Virginia, arrested Webber upon his release from the hospital, the department said, and charged him as a fugitive from justice. After extradition to Charles County, the department plans to charge Webber with first-degree murder and other related charges.
A statement posted by the American Cornhole League said the league was aware of the allegations, calling it “an extremely serious matter” and saying its thoughts were with Wells’ family.
