Overview
- Investigators say the shooting occurred late Sunday during an argument inside a moving car in La Plata, Maryland, leaving passenger Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, fatally shot as two rear-seat witnesses fled to call police.
- Hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall reported a body in a yard, and first responders pronounced Wells dead at the scene.
- Police tracked the suspect’s vehicle to Charlottesville, Virginia, and Tuesday arrested Dayton James Webber, 27, at a hospital; he now awaits extradition to Maryland on first- and second-degree murder counts plus firearm offenses.
- Officials note Webber, a quadruple amputee, has previously shown he can operate guns and vehicles through adaptive methods, with prior videos and interviews now cited in the case.
- Webber gained prominence in the American Cornhole League, a lawn game where players toss small bags into a hole on a raised board, and the league offered condolences as detectives continue to investigate motive.
