A Maryland man who defied the odds, becoming a professional cornhole player as a quadruple amputee, is now accused of defying the law by shooting and killing a man Sunday in La Plata and then fleeing to Charlottesville, Virginia.
Dayton James Webber, 27, is facing charges of first- and second-degree murder in the shooting death of 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells.
Webber has won the Maryland State Championship in cornhole, competed in the American Cornhole League and had nationally televised matches on ESPN. The network even profiled Webber in an episode of SC Featured.
