A quadruple amputee professional cornhole player acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a passenger in his Tesla during a heated argument, his attorney said Wednesday.Dayton James Webber, 27, appeared in Charles County District Court via videoconference for the bail review Wednesday, where Judge Patrick Devine noted that he left Maryland after the March 22 shooting of 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells and ordered Webber to remain jailed without bail.Webber, who was extradited from Virginia and is charged with first- and second-degree murder, hasn't entered a plea yet and is due in court for a May 6 preliminary hearing. He also faces assault and firearm charges.Defense attorney Andrew Jezic told the court that Webber acted in self-defense and that he anticipates a lengthy trial to prove it.After the hearing, Jezic told reporters that his client was terrified.The truth here is that he would have been a murder victim if he had not acted immediately in defense of his life, Jezic said.Family members of Webber declined to comment after the hearing.Webber, whose arms and legs were amputated when he was 10 months old to save his life after he contracted a serious blood infection, is accused of shooting Wells, of Waldorf, twice in the head during an argument, according to police charging documents.Karen Piper Mitchell, a deputy state's attorney, said witnesses in the car told authorities the argument was over a gun that a friend of Wells had stolen from Webber, and that Webber was upset Wells was still friends with the thief.She said Webber and Wells had a history of arguing, including a 2024 incident in which Webber ordered Wells to leave his home. While Wells was leaving, Mitchell said Webber fired a shot from a second floor window. Jezic said Webber fired into the air.In arguing that Webber should remain in custody, Mitchell noted that he drove to Virginia after the shooting and owns firearms. Authorities havent publicly addressed whether the vehicles cameras captured any of what happened or whether self-driving functionality was in use in the Tesla when the shooting occurred.According to the charging documents, Webber pulled over after the shooting in La Plata, Maryland, and asked two backseat passengers to help pull the victim out, but they refused, got out of the car and flagged down police officers.Webber fled with the victim still in the car, the Charles County sheriffs office said. Two hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall, about 10 miles (16-kilometer) away, found Wells body in a yard along a road and notified officers.Detectives tracked down Webbers car in Charlottesville, Virginia, and found Webber at a hospital where he was seeking treatment for a medical issue, the sheriffs office said.Webber was featured by ESPN in 2023 in a story of inspiration, noting he rode dirt bikes, wrestled and played football before becoming a professional cornhole player. The same year, he wrote an essay for the Today show about how he became a professional competitor. He said he learned to grab the bean bag by the corners and throw it using his amputated arms.A YouTube video posted two years ago shows Webber loading and firing a handgun.

Barcelona and Spain sensation Lamine Yamal has denounced the alleged Islamophobic chanting that marred his country's goalless friendly against Egypt on Tuesday evening as "utterly unacceptable".The 17-year-old forward, a practising Muslim, took to Instagram on Wednesday to address the offensive behaviour witnessed at the RCDE Stadium."I am Muslim, alhamdulillah," Yamal declared. "I know the chants were against the opposition and nothing personal, but as a Muslim it is still disrespectful and completely intolerable."He continued: "Using a religion as a way of mocking others inside a stadium is ignorant and racist. Football is to be enjoyed, not to disrespect others for who they are or what they believe in."The discriminatory chanting began within minutes of kick-off, with sections of the crowd repeatedly singing "whoever doesn't jump is a Muslim" throughout the first half and again after the interval.Egypt's national anthem had already been greeted with jeers before the match commenced.Stadium authorities attempted to intervene, displaying warnings on the large screens at half-time and once more early in the second period.These appeals fell on deaf ears, however, with portions of the crowd responding to both messages with further whistling.Yamal, withdrawn at the break, departed the ground visibly affected, head bowed, declining to acknowledge supporters the sole Spanish player to forgo the customary post-match appreciation.Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente expressed his revulsion in unequivocal terms following the match."Total and absolute disgust at any racist or xenophobic act," he stated. "These violent individuals, who exploit football, must be removed from society."The Royal Spanish Football Federation swiftly aligned itself with the condemnation, reaffirming its opposition to all manifestations of racism and violence within football grounds.Espanyol, the club whose stadium hosted the international fixture, likewise issued a robust denunciation of the behaviour witnessed during the friendly.The unified response from Spanish football's authorities underscored the gravity with which the incident is being treated. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @lamineyamalSpanish police in Barcelona have launched an investigation into what they characterised as "Islamophobic and xenophobic" chanting during the fixture.The match had originally been scheduled to take place in Qatar but was relocated owing to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.On the pitch, manager De la Fuente made ten alterations to his starting eleven following Friday's 3-0 victory over Serbia, with Yamal the only player retained from that triumph.Egypt were forced to compete without their talismanic forward Mohamed Salah, who continues to recover from a foot injury sustained earlier in the campaign.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
