New video footage has emerged involving Dayton James Webber, a 27-year-old professional cornhole player currently facing murder charges. The footage, first reported by TMZ, allegedly shows the quadruple amputee consuming an unknown substance and discharging a firearm months prior to the incident that led to his arrest.
In the video, which was reportedly filmed last summer in La Plata, Maryland, Webber is seen standing on his head while an associate holds a dollar bill beneath his nose. Shortly after, the athlete is seen standing upright, holding a semiautomatic rifle, and firing several rounds through an open window.
Webber, who lost his limbs to a bacterial infection in infancy, has previously used social media to demonstrate his ability to handle weapons. His YouTube channel features videos titled to showcase his shooting proficiency without the use of hands or feet.
These developments follow Webber’s arrest in connection with the March 22 shooting of 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells. Authorities allege that Webber shot Wells twice in the head while they were traveling in a Tesla SUV.
According to court documents, the shooting occurred during a late-night drive after an argument described by witnesses as "high school BS." Two other passengers in the vehicle reportedly fled after Webber allegedly requested assistance in removing the victim's body from the car.
Webber then allegedly drove approximately 100 miles to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he was eventually located at a hospital seeking medical treatment. The victim’s body was recovered several hours after the initial confrontation.
The American Cornhole League professional is currently held as legal proceedings continue. Investigators are reviewing his social media presence and the newly surfaced footage to establish a timeline of his conduct prior to the March 22 event.
Law enforcement officials have not yet commented on how the new video might impact the ongoing prosecution. The case has drawn significant public attention due to Webber’s high profile in professional sports and his unique physical circumstances.
