‘Looksmaxxing’ influencer faces charges after livestream shows him shooting at alligator

  • Social media influencer Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, faces charges for unlawfully discharging a firearm in public after livestreaming himself shooting at an apparently dead alligator in the Florida Everglades.
  • Peters, a leader in the “looksmaxxing” community, was charged on April 29, weeks after the incident, and is scheduled to appear in Miami-Dade County Court on May 20.
  • Two other individuals, Andrew Morales and Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres, were also charged in connection with the incident, which allegedly occurred around March 26.
  • Peters' lawyers claim he was following instructions from a licensed airboat guide and that no animals or people were harmed.
  • The incident is one of several recent controversies for Peters, including a brief jailing for assault, a suspected overdose while livestreaming and walking out of an interview when questioned about his association with Andrew Tate.
