A professio
nal cornhole player with no arms or legs has been arrested for murder, after a man was killed following a heated argument in Maryland.
27岁的代顿·韦伯是一名职业高尔夫球手。当他只有10个月大的时候,因为感染了链球菌肺炎,一种严重的血液感染,他的四肢都被截肢了。
医生做出这一决定是为了阻止感染扩散到他的器官,但警告韦伯的父母,手术后他活下来的机会不到3%。
27年后,他成为了一名职业运动员,作为顶级球员在美国高尔夫联赛中掀起波澜,甚至从16岁开始就在ESPN比赛。
3月23日被捕后,他的成就现在蒙上了阴影。
当地新闻媒体称,韦伯因涉嫌在马里兰州拉普拉塔谋杀27岁的布拉德里克·迈克尔·威尔斯而被捕。
Authorities claim that Webber shot Wells in his car and drove away with the victim’s body, which was later discovered in a yard on Newport Church Road in Charlotte Hall.
Two witnesses, who were in the back seat of Webber’s Tesla SUV at the time of the shooting, say they saw the murder when it happened and refused Webber’s requests to help him dispose of Wells’ body.
韦伯逃离了现场,两名证人报了警,警方在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔的一家医院将他作为逃犯逮捕。
韦伯被捕的消息在网上迅速传播,促使美国玉米联盟在社交媒体上发表声明解决这一情况。
他们在Instagram上写道:“这是一个极其严重的问题,我们的想法与所有受影响的人在一起,包括布拉德里克·迈克尔·威尔斯的家人和亲人。”
“目前,这仍然是一个有效的法律情况。我们尊重司法程序,在诉讼进行期间,我们不会对具体指控或细节发表评论。如果合适的话,我们会提供更新,但在此期间,联盟不会有进一步的评论。”
鉴于韦伯是一名四肢截肢者,警方尚未确定他是如何驾驶或射击威尔斯的,但发布到社交媒体的视频显示,这位cornhole pro使用9毫米手枪射击。
“It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone,” Diane Richardson of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office told FOX 5.
Webber is being extradited from Virginia to Charles County, Maryland, wher
e he will be officially charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other charges.
