Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Star Claims Self-Defense in Deadly Shooting

A top professional cornhole player who is a quadruple amputee says he fatally shot a passenger in self-defense during a heated argument in his Tesla.
Dayton Webber, a 27-year-old quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player, is accused of shooting and killing Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, during an argument in Webber's Tesla on March 22. Webber's attorney claims the shooting was an act of self-defense.
The incident occurred in Charles County, Maryland, where Webber appeared in district court via videoconference for a bail review hearing. Judge Patrick Devine noted that Webber had left the state after the shooting and ordered him to remain jailed without bail.
Webber, who is known for his impressive skills in the niche sport of cornhole, has garnered attention for his athletic achievements despite his disability. The quadruple amputee has competed at the highest levels of professional cornhole tournaments, showcasing his ability to excel in the game using specialized equipment and techniques.
However, this tragic incident has cast a dark shadow over Webber's success story. According to the authorities, the argument between Webber and Wells escalated, leading Webber to allegedly shoot Wells twice in the head. Webber's attorney has asserted that the shooting was an act of self-defense, though the full details of the incident remain under investigation.
