A QUADRUPLE amputee was arrested after he allegedly shot someone in the back of his car on Sunday.

The alleged shooter is also a champion cornhole player who had his limbs amputated to save his life from a bacterial infection.

Dayton James Webber, 27, was driving when he allegedly shot and killed the front-seat passenger of his vehicle in Maryland, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said.

The shooting unfolded after the pair got into an argument, authorities alleged.

Webber, who was given a 3% chance of surviving the infection when he was ten months old, later pulled over and asked the passengers to help pull the victim out of the vehicle.

However, the witnesses refused and got out of the car before ditching the scene.

“Webber then fled with the victim still in the car,” the sheriff’s office said.

All of the occupants in the vehicle knew each other, officials noted.

Patrol officers responded to the scene and began canvassing the area where Webber allegedly fled.

Nearly two hours later, officials received a 911 call reporting a body in a yard in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.

Upon arrival, authorities found the victim, identified as Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Webber’s car was later located in Charlottesville, Virginia, roughly a two and a half hour drive from Charlotte Hall.

The cornhole champ was found at a nearby hospital “seeking treatment for a medical issue.”

After he was released from the hospital, police detained Webber and charged him as a fugitive from justice.

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office said on Monday that Webber is awaiting extradition back to Charles County where he will then face several charges, including first-degree murder and second-degree murder.

Officials said the investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information pertaining to the case has been asked to contact the Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS or by submitting a tip online.

Webber is a member of the American Cornhole League, per an essay he wrote in 2023.

“I started off playing in the backyard with friends and then began playing weekly at the local American Legion. I loved it so much, I never missed a Friday,” he said.

“Being a professional cornhole player has taught me an important lesson that I use in my everyday life: Forget what has already happened. I take each day as it comes and do not dwell on how I performed the day before — there’s nothing I can do to change the past.”

In the essay, Webber said he fought to overcome the infection that resulted in his amputations, adding he “learned how to do things, such as writing, on [his] own.”

“I even taught myself how to drive by racing go-karts,” he said.
