New details are emerging about the fatal shooting that led to the arrest of professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee Dayton Webber.
According to documents shared with Us Weekly, Webber is accused of shooting Bradrick Michael Wells, a motocross rider who recently became a new father to a baby girl, twice in the head on Sunday, March 22, in Maryland.
Wells was riding in the front passenger seat of Webber’s car when he was killed, police have said.
Webber, 27, was driving the car when the fatal rounds were fired.
Wells, also 27, was shot following a heated argument with Weber. What the two were fighting about is presently unknown.
Webber is now charged with first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and use of a firearm in a felony.

Police said the deadly shooting unfolded in front of two people who were sitting in the back seat of the car.
Investigators said Webber stopped the car and asked the two witnesses to help him pull Wells’ body out of the car. However, they refused and instead exited the car and fled.
They flagged down cops soon after Webber’s vehicle sped off, the charging documents detailed.
Wells’ body was found about two hours later, after someone found the victim dumped in their front yard.
Webber was arrested after being discharged from the hospital, where he’d gone for treatment of unspecified injuries.

Webber was only 10 months old when he underwent a quadruple amputation of his limbs after a blood infection. Today, he’s a player in the professional American Cornhole League, which has had a contract with ESPN since 2016.
He appeared on NBC’s Today show in 2023.
“People often underestimate me when they see me — no matter the context,” he said to Today. “As doctors rushed to save my life, they realized they needed to amputate my arms and legs to slow the infection. They told my parents there was only a 3% chance that I’d survive. For four months in the hospital, I fought and eventually overcame the infection. I learned how to do things, such as writing, on my own. I even taught myself how to drive by racing go-karts.”
Webber is expected to appear in court for a hearing on Wednesday, March 25.
