- Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, was charged April 29 with discharging a firearm in a public place.

If you thought Clavicular‘s drama couldn’t get any messier — think again.
The controversial 20-year-old streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, is now facing criminal charges after clips from his March livestream went viral showing him shooting at an alligator in the Florida Everglades. Because apparently, a live audience of thousands wasn’t enough reason to put the gun down.
During the broadcast, Peters reportedly asked, “Can we dump a round into it? Let’s test really how dead it is,” before standing up and firing at the animal. His post-shooting commentary? “Yeah, I think it’s dead.”
On April 29, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle filed charges against Peters for unlawfully discharging a firearm in a public place at the Francis Taylor Everglades Wildlife Management Area. Two others were slapped with the same charge.

Attorneys Steven Kramer and Jeffrey Neiman released a statement saying, “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.”
The gator drama is just the latest chapter in Peters’ growing legal saga. He’s also charged with misdemeanor battery and conspiracy to commit battery in Osceola County, after allegedly instigating a fight between his girlfriend and another woman and posting it on social media.
An arraignment has been scheduled for May 20.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it was “looking into the incident” after the footage first surfaced online. Turns out, they were looking pretty hard.
