A Maryland man who made history as the first quadruple amputee to compete in the professional televised American Cornhole League has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing a passenger in his car during an argument.
Dayton Webber, 27, faces murder charges in connection with the death of Bradrick Wells, authorities said on Monday. The incident reportedly occurred after an altercation inside Webber's vehicle.

Webber, who became a champion cornhole player after losing his limbs and nearly dying from a bacterial infection in his infancy, has now been thrust into a much darker spotlight. The shocking turn of events has left many in the cornhole community and beyond grappling with the news.
Authorities have provided few details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged shooting, but court records indicate that Webber and Wells were involved in some kind of dispute that turned deadly. Webber is currently being held without bail as the investigation continues.
The tragic case has shone a light on the challenges faced by those with disabilities, who often must overcome immense obstacles to pursue their passions and achieve success. Webber's story was one of resilience and triumph, but now it has taken a dark and unexpected turn.
As the legal process unfolds, the cornhole community and the public at large will be watching closely, seeking answers and grappling with the profound implications of this case. The once-inspiring tale of Webber's journey has now been overshadowed by the stark reality of the allegations against him.
Regardless of the outcome, this case serves as a sobering reminder that even the most extraordinary individuals can find themselves caught up in unimaginable tragedy. The reverberations of this incident will be felt for a long time to come, both within the cornhole world and in the broader societal conversation about disability, justice, and the complexities of the human experience.
