Overview
Dayton Webber, 27, was arrested at a Charlottesville, Virginia, hospital and charged as a fugitive after authorities linked him to the killing of Bradrick Michael Wells.
Police say Webber shot 27-year-old Bradrick Wells in the passenger seat during an argument while driving in La Plata, Maryland, on March 22, 2026.
Officers canvassed locations, found Wells' body in a Charlotte Hall yard, and located Webber's car about two and a half hours to the east in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Webber faces charges that include first-degree murder, with some reports saying first- and second-degree murder, and he will be extradited to Charles County, Maryland.
Analysis

Editorial choices emphasize official accounts (sheriff statements) while omitting defense viewpoints and broader context, making the narrative sensational despite source-sourced quotes like 'an unstoppable cornhole player.'
