Overview
- Authorities say Dayton James Webber, 27, shot front-seat passenger Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument in La Plata on Sunday night, then drove off.
- Two backseat passengers refused to help remove the body and flagged down La Plata police around 10:25 p.m., according to investigators.
- Wells’ body was found about two hours later in a Charlotte Hall yard, detectives obtained a warrant, and officers tracked Webber to a Charlottesville hospital where he was arrested as a fugitive; he is awaiting extradition and has a court hearing set for Wednesday.
- Charging documents state Wells was shot twice in the head, and prosecutors filed counts including first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and use of a firearm in a felony.
- Police say the case remains active and all four in the car knew one another, while verified videos of Webber firing handguns and rifles circulate online and the American Cornhole League calls the matter extremely serious.
