Professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee Dayton Webber was arrested on Monday for allegedly shooting and killing Bradrick Wells in La Plata, Maryland.
According to the Charles County Sherrif's Office, Webber was driving a car when he shot Wells, who was in the front passenger seat, during an argument. Webber then asked the rest of the passengers to get the victim out of the car, but when the passengers refused and left the vehicle, Webber drove away with Wells still inside.
Two hours after the alleged incident occurred, police responded to a 9-1-1 call where they found the body and pronounced Wells dead. Then, after getting a warrant for Webber's arrest, police found Webber's car in Charlottesville, Virginia, where Webber was getting treated at a local hospital.
Webber will be extradited to Charles County and be dealt with charges that include first-degree murder and second-degree murder.

What is a quadruple amputee?
A quadruple amputee is someone who doesn't have any arms or legs. In Webber's case, he got an infection at 10 months-old that gave him a 3 percent chance of living and required doctors to amputate his arms and legs in order to save him.
