Overview
- Authorities say Dayton James Webber, 27, shot the front-seat passenger during an argument Sunday night in La Plata while he was driving his car.
- Two passengers in the back seat told police they refused his request to remove the victim, left the vehicle, and flagged down La Plata officers.
- About two hours later, a homeowner in Charlotte Hall reported a body in a yard that was identified as 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells of Waldorf.
- Detectives obtained a warrant, traced Webber’s car to Charlottesville, found him at a hospital, and arrested him as a fugitive who now awaits extradition on first- and second-degree murder charges.
- The sheriff’s office reports no evidence of other suspects as old clips on Webber’s verified YouTube channel showing him loading and firing guns circulate in news coverage.
