A chilling tale has emerged from southern Maryland, involving a professional cornhole player, a Tesla, and a fatal shooting. Dayton Webber, a quadruple amputee known for his skill on the cornhole circuit, stands accused of felony murder and assault in the death of Brad Wells.
The tragedy reportedly stemmed from a volatile argument. Court documents reveal a “heated” dispute between Webber and Wells, fueled by tensions surrounding drugs, guns, and a woman. The confrontation escalated on March 22nd, culminating in a gunshot fired from within Webber’s moving vehicle.
Two backseat passengers witnessed the argument and the immediate aftermath. They recounted to police how Webber, after the shooting, allegedly asked for their help in removing Wells’ body from the car. Both passengers refused and quickly exited the vehicle as Webber drove away.
Wells’ body was discovered hours later, abandoned in a yard several miles from the scene. The investigation quickly focused on Webber, a man who earns a reported $100,000 annually as a motivational speaker and professional cornhole player.
The question of how a quadruple amputee could wield a firearm while driving sparked widespread disbelief. However, videos surfacing online demonstrate Webber’s remarkable ability to load and fire a 9mm handgun with practiced ease, dispelling initial doubts.
At the heart of the conflict lies a woman named Tori Mattingly. Reports indicate both Webber and Wells had dated her, with Mattingly briefly seeing Wells after a four-year relationship with Webber. Whether she was the central figure in their argument remains unclear.
Authorities faced a unique challenge when processing Webber for evidence. Unable to obtain traditional fingerprints, they instead took an impression of the ends of his forearms – a standard procedure for amputees, according to local law enforcement policy.
Webber has reportedly informed authorities he has no need for his prosthetic limbs while incarcerated and hasn’t used them for months. He became a quadruple amputee as an infant, losing all four limbs due to a severe blood infection and subsequent sepsis.
The American Cornhole League has acknowledged the situation, issuing a statement expressing their concern for all involved and emphasizing their respect for the ongoing legal process. They have refrained from commenting on the specific allegations.
As Webber awaits a bond hearing, the case continues to unravel, leaving a community grappling with the shocking details of a dispute that ended in tragedy. The investigation promises to reveal the full extent of the events leading up to Wells’ death.
