The Shooting and Body Dump

On Sunday night, around 10:30 p.m., Dayton James Webber drove near Radio Station Road and Llano Drive in La Plata, Maryland. Bradrick Michael Wells sat in the front passenger seat with two unnamed backseat passengers. An argument erupted.

Webber pulled over and shot Wells dead. He demanded the backseat passengers remove the body. They refused, exited the vehicle, and flagged down La Plata Police. Webber then drove off with Wells’ body in his car.

Flight to Virginia and Arrest

Just after midnight Monday, a resident on the 10000 block of Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall discovered Wells’ body in their yard. Medics pronounced Wells dead at the scene. Webber continued driving to the Charlottesville, Virginia area.

Authorities located him Monday morning at a local hospital seeking treatment for an unspecified medical issue. Albemarle County Police arrested Webber upon his release as a fugitive from Maryland justice. His vehicle remained in Charlottesville for investigation.

Webber’s Remarkable Backstory Versus Alleged Crime

Webber, 27, from La Plata, lost all four limbs as an infant to a severe blood infection. He overcame unimaginable challenges to compete as a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League. Sources describe him as a champion who defied odds.

Yet police charge this same man with first- and second-degree murder, weapon use in a felony, and related offenses. Unclear details surround how Webber operated a vehicle and firearm without limbs, highlighting potential adaptive modifications.
