Long before his arrest, Dayton James Webber showcased his shooting abilities online, posting videos that highlighted how he adapted to life without his hands and feet.
Now, those clips are drawing renewed attention after authorities accused him of killing a friend during a late-night drive in Maryland, per the New York Post.
Webber, 27, a professional competitor in the American Cornhole League, had uploaded several videos demonstrating his ability to handle firearms despite being a quadruple amputee.
In one 2024 video, titled “No Hands No Feet Shooting 9mm Handgun!!!!,” he is seen using the stubs of his arms to load and fire rounds in rapid succession, ending with a wide smile.
Other footage showed him firing a .54 caliber caplock muzzleloader, accompanied by the hashtag “#nolimits.” In another clip, he climbed a 15-foot ladder with a rifle strapped to his back during a hunting trip.
The videos resurfaced after Webber was arrested in connection with the death of Bradrick Michael Wells, also 27.
Police said the two men were riding together late Sunday night when an argument broke out inside a Tesla SUV shortly before 10:30 p.m. Webber was driving, with Wells in the front passenger seat and two others in the back.
As tensions escalated, Webber pulled the vehicle over, prompting the backseat passengers to flee.
Investigators allege Webber then shot Wells and drove away with the body still inside the vehicle after the others refused to help remove it.
About two hours later, authorities responded to a report of a body discovered in a yard in Charlotte Hall, where Wells was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, Webber’s vehicle was tracked more than 100 miles away to Charlottesville. He was later located at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for what officials described as a “medical issue.”
Webber has been charged as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting extradition to Maryland, where he faces a murder charge.
Despite the severity of the allegations, Webber’s past includes notable athletic achievements. He built a reputation in competitive cornhole and, as a child, gained attention for his wrestling abilities.
“I like using my strength and being fit. And I don’t have to rely on other people to do stuff for me like you do in football,” he told ESPN at age 12.
“Sometimes when I watch my teammates in certain situations I wish I had hands, but I just try to do things my own way.”
