Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Player Charged with Murder

0:00It's March 24th. Dallas News Today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. A 27-year-old professional cornhole player from the plot of Maryland faces murder charges after a fatal shooting in Charles County on March 22nd, 2026. Dayton James Weber is accused of killing 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument inside a vehicle. He's charged with first and second-degree murder along with assault and firearm offenses. The incident started when Weber picked up two witnesses from work, with Wells already riding in the front passenger seat. As they drove, a dispute escalated, and Weber allegedly fired two shots into Wells's head. He then pulled over, told the others to remove the body, but they refused and called police instead, while Weber fled with Wells still inside. Weber, a quadruple amputee since infancy, due to a blood infection, competes in the American Cornhole League, which airs on ESPN. His unique story has drawn attention, though details on how he operated the vehicle or weapon remain unclear.

His car was spouted nearby, and he's now awaiting extradition to face the charges in Charles County. Officials say he acted alone, with the investigation ongoing as more details emerged from court documents.
