A disturbing new video has surfaced, depicting Dayton James Weber – the professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee now facing murder charges – allegedly engaging in reckless behavior with firearms and a suspicious substance. The footage, captured in July 2025, paints a troubling picture of the moments leading up to his current legal battle.
The video shows Weber performing a handstand against a wall, appearing to snort a substance from a dollar bill. As he regains his footing, he moves towards an open window, picking up a semiautomatic rifle along the way. The scene escalates as Weber aims into the darkness and fires two shots, with what appears to be drug paraphernalia visible nearby.
Weber’s legal team has dismissed the video as irrelevant to the case, maintaining his innocence and claiming he acted in self-defense. They insist the footage “changes nothing” regarding his claim that he feared for his life.
The charges against Weber stem from the death of Brad Wells, allegedly shot and killed on March 22nd while the two were in a Tesla. Passengers in the vehicle reportedly told police about a heated argument that preceded the shooting.
Court documents reveal the argument centered around a volatile mix of “drugs, guns, and a woman.” Both men were reportedly involved with Tori Mattingly, who had previously dated Weber for four years before a brief relationship with Wells.
Weber, who listed his occupation as a “self-employed motivational speaker (and professional) cornhole player,” reported a six-figure income last year. The documents further allege that after the shooting, Weber asked the passengers to help him dispose of Wells’ body, a request they refused before leaving the vehicle.
Wells’ body was later discovered abandoned in a yard several miles from the scene. The circumstances surrounding his death have sparked intense scrutiny and debate.
During a recent court appearance, Weber was denied bail and ordered to remain incarcerated. His attorney has firmly asserted a claim of self-defense, anticipating a protracted legal battle to prove it.
Weber currently faces charges of first- and second-degree murder, along with assault and firearm offenses. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 6th, where he will be expected to enter a formal plea.
Initial reactions to Weber’s arrest focused on the logistical improbability of a quadruple amputee operating a firearm while driving. However, prior videos from 2024 demonstrate Weber’s ability to skillfully load and fire a handgun without assistance, raising questions about the mechanics of the alleged crime.
The case continues to draw national attention, fueled by the unusual circumstances and the conflicting accounts of those involved. The upcoming hearing promises to reveal further details and potentially shift the trajectory of this complex investigation.
