FWC investigates as video circulates online of streamer shooting at alligator in Everglades

EVERGLADES, Fla. —

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has confirmed it is investigating a video circulating online that appears to show a group of individuals shooting at an alligator in the Everglades.

"The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator," FWC said in a post on X. "FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available."

The announcement of the investigation comes as a video circulating on social media appears to show Kick streamer Clavicular (Real name: Braden Evan Peters) and others discharging a firearm into an alligator while on an airboat in the Everglades.

It is unclear if the alligator was dead or alive before the group shot at it.

At this time, it is unclear if the FWC investigation is in reference to the same video circulating on social media.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
