Dayton James Webber, a professional cornhole athlete and a quadruple amputee, has found himself embroiled in a serious criminal case following the shooting death of motocross rider Bradrick Michael Wells. Webber, 27, is now facing murder charges after an alleged road-rage incident that occurred on the evening of March 22 in La Plata, Maryland.

In a Virginia court on Thursday, March 26, Webber waived his right to an extradition hearing. During this proceeding, he expressed his desire to return to Maryland to confront the murder allegations. Webber communicated this intention via video call while being held in a jail cell in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is expected to appear in court again on April 10.
The tragedy unfolded around 10:25 p.m. when a dispute reportedly escalated into violence. Two witnesses, who were passengers, claimed that Webber fired multiple shots into their vehicle, fatally striking Wells, who was seated in the front. Wells, 27, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after police responded to a call about a body found in a yard on Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.
Wells, remembered by family and friends as a devoted motocross rider, had recently celebrated the birth of his daughter. His cousin spoke to local media, highlighting the profound loss felt by the family and the impact on Wells’ new role as a father.
Following the shooting, law enforcement issued a warrant for Webber’s arrest after recovering his vehicle in Charlottesville. Reports indicate that he sought medical attention at a local hospital for an undisclosed issue. Later, following his treatment, he was taken into custody by the Albemarle County Police Department based on the warrant.
The Charles County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is progressing with the case, and local authorities have indicated that Webber is expected to face multiple charges, including first-degree and second-degree murder, related to the shooting of Wells. Despite his physical challenges, Webber has been described as having impressive capabilities. In the past, he has shared videos on social media demonstrating proficiency with a handgun, which has raised eyebrows regarding his ability to handle firearms.
The case is drawing attention not only for its tragic nature but also for the backgrounds of both individuals involved. Webber, a noteworthy figure in the cornhole community, has gained recognition in competitive circles despite his disabilities. The CCSO released a statement asserting their commitment to thoroughly investigate the incident to ensure justice for Wells and his family.
Attempts to reach Webber’s legal representation for further comment have been made, but at this stage, no formal statements have been issued regarding his defence in the upcoming trial. As the situation develops, the community remains in shock over the violent turn of events that has led to a promising life being cut short and another facing serious legal repercussions.
Public interest is likely to remain high as both the authorities and legal teams prepare for the next steps in this tragic case, which continues to unfold.
