Motocross Rider Allegedly Fatally Shot by Quadruple Amputee Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, was fatally shot on Sunday, March 22, in La Plata, Maryland, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities stated that Wells was allegedly shot by Dayton James Webber, a quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player, during an argument while they were driving together. The incident occurred around 10:25 p.m. local time, with Webber and Wells in the front passenger seat of a vehicle. The sheriff’s office reported that Webber and Wells were involved in a dispute inside the car. Webber allegedly fired a shot at Wells, who was seated in the front passenger seat. After the shooting, Webber allegedly pulled over and asked other passengers to help remove Wells from the vehicle. However, witnesses refused to assist, exited the car, and left the scene. Webber then fled with Wells still inside the car. Other passengers in the vehicle flagged down law enforcement to report the shooting. On Monday, March 23, a resident in Newport, Maryland, discovered a body in their yard and notified authorities. When responders arrived, they found Wells’ body and confirmed his death. Webber, who is also a professional cornhole player, was later located in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue and was arrested by the Albemarle County Police Department. Webber is now awaiting extradition to Charles County, Maryland, where he faces charges including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. His attorney, Alexander Goodman, confirmed that Webber is scheduled for an extradition hearing on March 27.#fox_5 #bradrick_michael_wells #charles_county_sheriff_office #albemarle_county_police_department #dayton_james_webber
Atlanta Severe Storm Threat Shifts; Some Schools Delay Start Time A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to move through North and Central Georgia overnight, bringing damaging wind gusts, small hail, and the potential for brief tornadoes. The system will arrive as temperatures plummet by 20 to 30 degrees Thursday afternoon following the passage of a powerful cold front. Schools in Meriwether and Troup County will delay their start time by two hours due to the weather threat. The FOX 5 Storm Team warns residents to prepare for hazardous conditions, including frequent lightning, heavy rainfall, and gusts exceeding 60 mph. While the storm system will take several hours to traverse the region, heavy rain could create challenging morning commutes. The primary threats include damaging winds, a brief spin-up tornado or two, and small hail, with the highest risk concentrated in areas from Carrollton to Thomaston. Meteorologists note that the Storm Prediction Center has slightly adjusted the severe weather outlook, maintaining a Level 2 threat for regions west of Carrollton to Thomaston and a Level 1 for the rest of the area. Chief Meteorologist David Chandley highlights the potential for "twisting with those cells" as the storm line approaches the metro area, though the metro region remains under a marginal risk. The system is expected to deliver beneficial rainfall, with totals ranging from half an inch to an inch in some areas. The storm line is projected to intensify in the northwest around 2 a.m., causing significant noise but not severe conditions in that region. By 4 a.m. to 5 a.m., the focus shifts to Carrollton, Newnan, and LaGrange, where a Level 2 threat is in place. By daybreak, the storms will move east, leaving behind spotty showers.#atlanta #fox_5 #carrollton #thomaston #meriwether_county
