Tribune News ServicePublished: 10:26am, 16 May 2026Clavicular, the “looksmaxxing” influencer and streamer whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, has reached a resolution in the misdemeanour case filed after a video posted online apparently showed him repeatedly shooting an alligator while on an airboat in the US Everglades.

On March 26 in the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area, Peters was among a group of men on an airboat that had stopped near an alligator that did not appear to be moving, according to videos posted on social media.

“Is it dead?” Peters asked in the video. “So could we shoot it?” A few seconds later, he said, “Let’s test really how dead it is.”

“He just wants to shoot something,” said Andrew Morales, 22, an influencer who goes by “The Cuban Tarzan” on social media, video clips posted on X show. “He’s itching.”

Someone out of the camera’s view told Morales: “Well, we’re good. You can pretty much do whatever safely.”

Morales was seen in the video unholstering a gun from his hip and shooting twice at the alligator in the water. Peters then stood up and shot the alligator repeatedly, and Morales joined in again and also shot the animal repeatedly.
