“Baby Alien,” whose real name is Yabdiel Anibal Cotto Torres, pleaded no contest to a charge of discharging a firearm on Wednesday before Judge Marcus Bach Armas.
The 26-year-old was given six months of probation and must perform 20 hours of community service, and has to also take Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission firearm safety courses.
Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, and Andrew Morales, also known as “Cuban Tarzan,” also pleaded no contest Friday to charges of unlawfully discharging a firearm in public and were given the same probation terms.
The shooting happened at the Francis S. Taylor Everglades Wildlife Management Area boat ramp dock on or about March 26, according to court records.

Video posted on social media showed people on an airboat who appeared to be shooting at an alligator, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said.
Peters’ attorney previously said no animals were harmed, and that he was following the instructions of a licensed airboat guide.
The 20-year-old Clavicular is known online for “looksmaxxing,” the belief that appearance can be deliberately optimized through fitness, grooming and style. The influencer has been known to take this to the extreme, with “bone smashing,” or using a hammer to intentionally break facial bones so they grow back stronger or looking better.
