Context:

A quadruple-amputee and professional cornhole player, Dayton James Webber, is accused of fatally shooting a front-seat passenger during an argument in La Plata, Maryland. Investigators say Webber pulled over, asked two back-seat passengers to help remove the victim, then fled with the body as witnesses left the scene. The victim, Bradrick Michael Wells, was found later by a passerby and Webber was later arrested after his car was located in Virginia; authorities emphasize there’s no evidence of others’ involvement. He faces multiple charges, and questions remain about how he could drive and fire a weapon, as the case unfolds with ongoing inquiries and appeals for tips.
