A Maryland man who made history as the first quadruple amputee to compete in the professional televised American Cornhole League has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing a passenger in his car during an argument.
Dayton Webber – who became a champion cornhole player after losing his limbs and nearly dying from a bacterial infection in his infancy – faces murder charges in connection with the death of Bradrick Wells, authorities said on Monday.
According to a statement from investigators with the sheriff’s office of Charles county in suburban Baltimore, Webber was driving his car with Wells as his front-seat passenger at about 10.25pm on Sunday when the pair began arguing in front of others who were in the vehicle.
Webber, 27, then allegedly shot Wells to death, pulled over in the community of La Plata, and asked the other passengers to help him remove the dead man from the car, the sheriff’s office said. The others refused, got out of the car and fled the scene while Webber drove away with the body of Wells, also 27, the agency added.
Having watched the video of him shooting a gun, this still makes no sense. My brain cannot wrap itself around how any of this works. I’m looking for cracks, any indication this is just some AI-fuel mass hallucination fever-dream, but I can’t find it and that is somehow worse.
Yeah, I saw that and my first thought how the fuck you gonna let that man draw down on you? How did you not see it coming? Did he just sit there watching this guy fumble fingerless with a gun until he could get the safety off and pointed at him? Did he want to die?
I have sooo many questions:
So there are three guys with all their arms and legs, but they let the guy with NO arms and legs drive the car?
How does he pull a gun with no arms? I understand that he still has forearms, there are videos of him shooting guns, but I have a hard time believing that this guy is a quick draw artist, and got the drop on his passenger that easily.
Didn’t the dudes in the back try to stop him?
How did he get the dead guy out of his car? He asked the other dudes to do it, but they bailed and drove off, and the victim was found on a lawn somewhere. How did the killer get him out?
How does he play cornhole at such an elite level? I assume he’s throwing the bean bags with his teeth.
Does he play any other sports? Pickleball? Dodgeball? Football (I’m not going to say it)?
No, he doesn’t play basketball. Also, Bradrick Wells? That’s a fake name for sure. Midsummer Murders much? And if he ain’t real… Then this whole thing ain’t real!
Following in pistorius foot steps hehe
Sorry for asking but… How?!? Next to a modified car so he could drive, he also has a modified gun? A mounted gun on his bonnet/roof with a joystick for his mouth to operate? Or a shoulder mounted gun with a remote trigger at his toe? I can see creative youtubers build a weird device like this, but I doubt he has the ability to pull CAT, 3D printing, CNC and constructing something like this himself. And then it’s also weird to walk around like robocop, and especially while driving. Is he gogo gadget?

Webber, 27, then allegedly shot Wells to death
Impossible … he was unarmed!
Only unforearmed.
Heyoo! His defense was shaky; he didn’t have a leg to stand on and his legal team was stumped.
In any case, that may be a headline you never see again. I for one am proud to have been here to witness first-(second?) hand.
Thank you.
Jfc i love your endboss-level dad jokes
You’ve got to “hand” it to him. That was no easy “feat”.
That is quite the headline
I had to read it 3 times to figure out what the hell it meant. :p
He was driving a car.
He shot a man.
While driving a car.
Jury nullification. We’re appalled but also impressed so we’re sending you back out to see what other zany hi-jinks you can get up to.
I would actually love to know more about the mechanics of all of this. Like how did he do all of this? What kind of prosthetics does he use? What kind of modifications did he make to his car to accommodate his abilities? Does he have some kind of custom gun grip to use a firearm at all?
(It’s actually horrible, but still…!)
Kinda makes you examine what you’re doing with your own life while having all your limbs.
It accused Webber of having shot Wells twice in the head.
A double-tap to the head while driving a car with no limbs.
A statement of charges filed in court and reported by WTTG said Webber knew his passengers from work.
I don’t know what that guy does for work, but I bet that he’s pretty good at it.
Next they’ll just say he killed the guy with a fookin pencil
… How?
My guy didnt let adversity get in his way. This is the difference beween handicapped and handycapable.
handycapable
He even shot him before pulling over. Being handi-capable isn’t enough for him, he’s multitasking handi-capable
He’s differently abled NOT disabled!!
But for real he probably has more drive than move 4 limbed people. I mean he was driving when he shot the passenger. That has got to take extra care and dedication for someone without arms and legs.

Mad-libs headline
Are mad-libs still a thing? I hope mad-libs are still a thing.
Have you read anything the president has written… clearly madlibs lives
Maryland man. Not really insane and trashy like Florida or Ohio man, but you are left impressed, confused, and wondering why murder showed up
I’ve been to LaPlata. Nothing in this article is surprising.
Calling Charles county part of “Suburban” Baltimore surprised me…also, which nub pulled the trigger‽
Netflix marketing for Knives Out is getting out of hand.
The name for the very common game “cornhole” has always made me laugh, since it’s the common name. I love how there are some efforts to call it “bean bag toss”. Yeah, nope, not really seeing much traction there. The only thing funnier to my inner 10 year old would be if there was a legit game called bum darts.
And yes, watching shows like “Blown Away” got plenty of chuckles when they keep referred to “the glory hole”.
We always called it “bags”
In Canada cornhole means something completely different, and every time I see it mentioned on Lemmy it makes me have to stop and translate to American.
In the US, getting corn holed is receiving unlubricated anal penetration.
Not for nothing but La Plata is not part of suburban Baltimore…
I’m shocked that it’s not Florida
