THE EVERGLADES, FLA. (WSVN) - Social media influencer Clavicular is among three men facing charges after, prosecutors said, they unlawfully opened fire at a public boat ramp in the Florida Everglades during an apparent alligator shooting incident, according to court documents.
Prosecutors charged the influencer, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, as well as Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres and Andrew Morales, with unlawfully discharging a firearm in a public place or over the right-of-way of a paved road, highway, street or occupied premises.
The charges stem from an incident alleged to have happened March 26, at the Francis Taylor Everglades Wildlife Management Area boat ramp dock in Miami-Dade County.
Peters has a history in South Florida. Officials from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department said that he was wanted in Osceola County for allegedly instigating a fight at an Airbnb to exploit two women for a video to post on social media.
Peters was also part of a group of right-wing influencers that was widely condemned by Miami Beach officials for partying at the Vendôme nightclub in January, where they sang along to a profanity-laced Kanye West song titled “Heil Hitler.”
Peters and those individuals also recorded themselves inside of a limo singing to the song and performing Nazi salutes.
Court documents state each defendant knowingly discharged a firearm in a public area in violation of Florida law.
Peters’ attorneys, Steven Kramer and Jeffrey Neiman, released a statement that reads:
“Our client has been summoned to appear for a misdemeanor charge that stems from following the instructions of a licensed airboat guide. He relied on that guidance. No animals or people were harmed. We are confident that once the full picture is understood, people will see this for what it is.”
An arrest warrant issued for Peters lists the offense as reckless discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor. Records show his bond was set at $1,000.
The court filings do not specify whether an alligator was struck or injured during the incident.
Authorities have not publicly released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged shooting.
