A professional cornhole player who’s also a quadruple amputee has been accused of fatally shooting a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument, Maryland authorities say.
Dayton James Webber, 27, was featured by ESPN in 2023 in a story of inspiration, noting he rode dirt bikes, wrestled and played football before becoming a professional cornhole player. In the same year, he wrote an essay for the Today show about how he became a professional competitor.
On Sunday night, he was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle County, Virginia, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Charles County is seeking his extradition from Virginia and said he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and related charges.
It wasn’t clear Tuesday whether Webber has an attorney yet. Messages seeking comment were left for his mother.
