“A quadruple amputee professional cornhole player acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a passenger in his Tesla during a heated argument, his attorney has said.”

“Dayton Webber, 27, appeared in Charles county district court via videoconference for a bail review Wednesday, where judge Patrick Devine noted that he left Maryland after the 22 March shooting of 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells.”

“Webber, who was extradited from Virginia and is charged with murder, hasn’t entered a plea yet and is due in court for a 6 May preliminary hearing. He also faces assault and firearm charges.”

“Webber, whose arms and legs were amputated when he was 10 months old to save his life after he contracted a serious blood infection, is accused of shooting Wells – of Waldorf, Maryland – twice in the head during an argument, according to police charging documents.”

“Webber pulled over after the shooting in La Plata, Maryland, and asked two backseat passengers to help pull the victim out. But they refused, got out of the car and flagged down police officers, the documents said.”

“Webber fled with the victim still in the car, the Charles county sheriff’s office said. Two hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall, about 10 miles (16-kilometer) away, found Wells’s body in a yard along a road and notified officers.”

“Webber was featured by ESPN in 2023 in a story of inspiration, noting he rode dirt bikes, wrestled and played football before becoming a professional cornhole player.”

“A YouTube video posted in 2024 shows Webber loading and firing a handgun.”
