Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Player Charged With Murder In La Plata Shooting Found In Virginia

LA PLATA, Md. – On March 22 at 10:25 p.m., officers with the La Plata Police Department were flagged down by two people near the area of La Plata Road and Radio Station Road in La Plata.

A preliminary investigation revealed the witnesses were in the back seat of a car when the driver, Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata, shot and killed the front seat passenger during an argument.

Webber pulled over in the area of Radio Station Road and Llano Drive and asked the passengers to help pull the victim out of the car; however, the witnesses refused, got out of the car, and left the scene. Webber then fled with Wells still in the car. All occupants of the car are known to each other.

Charles County Sheriff’s patrol officers responded and assisted in canvassing the locations to which Webber may have fled. Nearly two hours later, a resident in the 10000 block of Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall, MD called 9-1-1 to report a body in a yard. Officers responded and found the victim, Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf, who was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Detectives from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Webber’s arrest, and located Webber’s car in Charlottesville, Virginia. Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue.

Upon being released from the hospital, Webber was arrested by officers with the Albemarle County Police Department and was charged as a fugitive from justice. He is awaiting extradition to Charles County where he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related charges.
