Attorneys: Amputee cornhole pro Webber fired gun in self-defense

Key Points:

• Dayton Webber, a quadruple amputee and former professional cornhole player, faces murder charges for allegedly shooting Brad Wells during a verbal argument in Webber's vehicle near La Plata, Maryland, on March 22.
• Webber's attorneys plan to argue self-defense, claiming Webber feared for his life and had to shoot to protect himself; however, the judge denied bond, citing Webber as a potential flight risk and danger due to his weapons ownership and prior conduct.
• The shooting stemmed from ongoing tensions related to Wells' friendship with someone Webber accused of stealing guns, with police finding a gun consistent with the murder weapon in the car and matching ammunition at Webber's home.
• Witnesses reported that Webber asked them to move Wells' body, but they refused and fled; police found Wells' body about 10 miles from the shooting site and are investigating evidence from Webber's Tesla, including video footage from the car's cameras.
• Webber, 27, has been accommodated for his disabilities while in custody, and his next court date is set for May 6; the case continues to draw national attention due to the unique circumstances and Webber's background.
