Quadruple Amputee Accused of Fatal Shooting While Driving in Maryland
A quadruple amputee has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly shooting a passenger in the head while driving a car in Charles County, Maryland. The incident, which occurred on March 24, 2026, has shocked local authorities and the community.
Details of the Alleged Crime
Dayton James Webber, 27, a professional cornhole player, was driving his vehicle with passenger Bradrick Michael Wells and two colleagues in the backseats. According to police reports, an argument erupted between Webber and Wells during the drive. Webber is accused of pulling out a firearm and shooting Wells twice in the head.
After the shooting, Webber pulled over and instructed the two witnesses to remove Wells' body from the car, but they refused. The witnesses managed to flag down a police officer, but Webber had already driven away with the body. Wells was later discovered on the side of the road.
Investigation and Arrest
Police located Webber's vehicle in Charlottesville, Virginia, and found him at a hospital seeking treatment. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Diane Richardson of the Charles County Sheriff's Office stated, 'It's early in the investigation, but there's no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone.'
Webber underwent a quadruple amputation as a baby after contracting a blood infection, according to reports. The case continues to develop as authorities gather more evidence.
