S3 Ep393: Quadruple Amputee Charged in Killing of Friend

This episode of Crime Weekly examines the shocking case of Dayton James Weber, a 27-year-old quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player from Maryland, who has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly shooting his front-seat passenger, 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells, during a heated argument on March 22, 2026. Despite having no arms or legs—amputations he sustained as an infant due to a bacterial infection—Weber is reported to have demonstrated proficiency with firearms, including in online videos and a TikTok showing him using a Nerf gun. Authorities say he pulled over, asked two backseat passengers to help remove the body, and when they refused, fled with the body in his vehicle before abandoning it in a yard in Charlotte Hall, Maryland, and later seeking medical treatment in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he was arrested. The hosts express zero sympathy for Weber, emphasizing that no amount of personal adversity justifies murder, and critique his apparent entitlement and mental state, particularly his audacity in demanding help from witnesses and attempting to flee. They also reflect on the broader implications: while Weber’s accomplishments as an amputee who played football, wrestled, rode dirt bikes, and competed professionally in cornhole are undeniably inspiring, his criminal actions do not negate the value of his achievements for others facing adversity. The episode ends with the announcement of the CrimeCon 2026 giveaway winner, Kalen Baker, and a reminder to purchase tickets using the code CRIMEWEEKLY for 10% off.
