Maryland authorities say the pro cornhole player fatally shot passenger Bradrick Wells after an argument in her car and fled before his arrest.

A county sheriff's office in Maryland has said that a professional cornhole player who made history as the first quadruple amputee to compete in the American Cornhole League fatally shot a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument.

Dayton James Webber, 27, was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle County, Virginia, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Charles County is seeking his extradition from Virginia and said he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and related charges.

Webber did not immediately return a message seeking comment sent to an email address listed for him.

Webber pulled over after the shooting in La Plata, Maryland, and asked two passengers in the back of the car to help pull the victim out, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said.

The witnesses refused, got out of the car and flagged down police officers.

Webber fled with the victim still in the car, the sheriff's office said
Two hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall, about a 16-kilometre drive away, reported a body in a yard.

The sheriff's office did not specify how exactly Webber managed to fire a gun while driving.

Officers found the victim, Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The American Cornhole League posted a statement on its Facebook page saying it is aware of allegations involving Webber but said it would not comment on what it called "an active legal situation" while proceedings were ongoing.
