Police documents shared by Detective Mark Bigelow explain what witnesses told investigators. On the day of the incident, Dayton Webber drove his white Tesla to pick up two people. When they got into the back seat, Bradrick Michael Wells was already sitting in the front. At some point during the drive, things turned tense. The report says a heated argument broke out between Webber and Wells.
Then, according to the witnesses, Webber pulled out a gun and shot Wells twice in the head. After the shooting, Webber allegedly asked the two people in the back seat to help him move the body. They refused and quickly got out of the car. Webber then drove away alone, with Wells still inside the vehicle.
Later, Wells was found in a yard on Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Emergency responders reached the spot, but he was already dead. Authorities say Webber fled to Virginia after the incident but was later arrested and brought back to Maryland on Tuesday. He is expected to appear in court next month.
Dayton Webber’s past, ESPN features, and ex-girlfriend Tori Mattingly ’s claims about his behavior
Dayton Webber’s story had once been seen as inspiring. As a baby, he lost all four limbs due to a severe infection that led to sepsis. Despite that, he learned how to adapt and later became a competitive cornhole player. In 2023, he joined the American Cornhole League and was featured by ESPN.
Speaking to ESPN at the time, he said, “It’s something I’ve been doing my whole life, is overcoming things that people didn’t think I can do.”
He had also been featured earlier as a young wrestler, showing his determination from a young age.
However, his ex-girlfriend Tori Mattingly has now shared a very different side. In an interview with TMZ, she said Webber had an “angry dark side” during their four-year relationship, which ended in February 2025.
She said he often had outbursts and refused to get help. In a video she shared, he is seen shouting at her during an argument. She also wrote in a Facebook post, “For four years, I saw the side of him that nobody else wanted to believe existed. The anger. The control. The abuse.”
Mattingly added that she was not surprised by the allegations, saying she had already seen that behavior up close.
