Teenage victim of fatal stabbing may have been located via Snapchat Map
RIVERTON —- They’d set out on a walk across town after visiting with one of their moms. A few Snapchat messages were received, gunning for a fight, and the kids believed their attackers used the Snapchat Map feature to track them. One allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife on the way out of the trailer, and minutes later, a 14-year-old Riverton boy was dead.
He died in his twin brother’s arms.
Investigators say the fight in which Draven Addison, 14, was fatally stabbed was captured on cellphone video on the morning of August 23. His alleged killer, Alejandro Behan, 22, was arrested last week and charged with one count of second-degree murder.
He faces up to life in prison.
A call for help
Police were called at 3:58 a.m. on August 23 to the 100 block of Honor Farm Road, where a caller said Addison had been stabbed and was bleeding from his back. The teen was still breathing at the time, the caller said, and described that the group of teens had been “jumped” as they walked down the road.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, Riverton Police Department and EMS arrived and provided medical assistance, but Addison was pronounced dead a short time later.
A family member said Addison’s brother and friends tried to keep him alert as he bled and they waited for the ambulance.
The group who allegedly jumped the teens fled to a neighboring trailer. When the red and blue lights of the squad cars and ambulance arrived, they turned out the lights, while Behan hid in a closet, court documents describe.
Threats on Snap
According to an affidavit filed by FCSO Detective Anthony Armstrong, the group of teens had just visited one of their mothers at Eagles Hope Transition in Riverton, then walked across town to Honor Farm Road.
During their walk, the teens and the alleged attackers had a back-and-forth exchange over Snapchat that discussed a potential fight.
One of Addison’s friends said they believed their attackers had used the Snapchat Map feature to track their location, and when the teens got to the 100 block of Honor Farm Road, an SUV pulled up and about a dozen people got out and a fight began.
A person identified as W.U. in the affidavit said he’d been at a nearby residence with Behan and others, and when they arrived at the fight scene, he passed off his cellphone to a female to record the attack, according to court records. Investigators later downloaded the video, which has also circulated on social media.
A juvenile female who was also with Behan’s party admitted to being involved in the attack, according to the affidavit, and told police that Behan grabbed a kitchen knife as the group left the residence; when he returned, she said, Behan told the group he had “stabbed a guy” and threw the knife in a yard.
In a later interview, Behan “admitted retrieving a knife from the residence because others in the house told him the opposing group had knives, and he did not see anyone in his group armed,” the affidavit states. “He stated that during the fight, he observed what he believed was a knife in [Addison’s] back pocket. To protect his family members, he ‘poked’ [Addison] in the back with the knife from the residence.”
Investigators reportedly recovered a dark-handled bloody kitchen knife in the yard of 11 Clearwater Drive nearby.
‘Kindhearted young man’
Addison is remembered as a good-natured, gentle and loving young man “who brought light to all who knew him,” according to his obituary.
He grew up in Casper before moving to Riverton in 2022. He enjoyed all kinds of music, from heavy metal to oldies and rap, and loved playing video games. Draven was known as an avid animal lover, especially cats, and relished in spending time outdoors swimming, camping, fishing and hiking. “He found joy in the rain, butterflies, and all of God’s creation,” his obituary says.
