Dayton Webber Charged in Maryland Killing of Passenger

Investigators say the early case shows no sign of other suspects.

Overview

  • Police say the 27-year-old pro cornhole player shot front-seat passenger Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument Sunday night in La Plata.
  • Two people in the back seat told officers they refused to move the victim, left the car, and flagged down La Plata police, and investigators say all four knew each other.
  • Wells was found dead about two hours later in a Charlotte Hall yard, and detectives then obtained an arrest warrant for Webber.
  • Officers located Webber at a Charlottesville, Virginia hospital, arrested him as a fugitive, and say he awaits extradition to Charles County on first- and second-degree murder charges.
  • Videos showing Webber loading and firing guns have resurfaced as police have not explained how he could drive or shoot, and the American Cornhole League has urged respect for the legal process.
