According to court documents, an argument broke out between Webber and Wells while they were driving. The witnesses told police that Webber pulled out a firearm and shot Wells twice in the head during the dispute. The statement of charges says Webber then pulled the vehicle over and asked the passengers to remove Wells from the car, but they refused.

The witnesses contacted police, and Webber fled with Wells’ body still inside the vehicle. Wells’ body was found on the side of the road early the next morning.

Investigators later located Webber’s vehicle in Charlottesville, Virginia. Webber was found at a hospital seeking treatment. He is charged with first‑degree murder, second‑degree murder, first‑degree assault and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
