Three best friends were found slain in a “horrific scene” at a Florida lake after one of them called his father for help, authorities said.
Damion Tillman, 23, Keven Springfield, 30, and Brandon Rollins, 27, had planned to go night fishing Friday at Lake Streety in Frostproof, about 70 miles south of Orlando, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Grady Judd said they believe Tillman arrived first at the lake to go out on a catfish expedition.
When Rollins and Springfield arrived, they saw Tillman being beaten and were shot by one or more of his attackers, authorities said.
Rollins was still conscious when the assailants left and called his father, begging, “Help,” according to Judd.
His dad rushed to the lake about 10 minutes away but forgot his cellphone in a scramble to help his son.
“When I got there, I was looking for my son. It was a mess,” his father, Cyril Rollins, told TV news station WFLA.
“I found my son. I was holding him. He was telling me what happened, but I was too shocked to know what was going on.”
The father drove to a nearby convenience store, where the clerk called 911.
But by the time help arrived, all three men had died from their injuries, authorities said.

There were 7 killed last month in Al. (drug/debt related). Another one I can’t remember where. Now this one. I think drug smugglers are cleaning up rolling credit accounts now that it’s getting harder to traverse the boarder.
not many know that though.
Let me guess the race of the attackers , and the victims
Few details here but my hunch is they knew or there was a link or connection between the killers and the decedents.
911 doesn’t even require a service provider.
The motives are usually drugs and/or money with these kinds of crimes. Wonder if we’ve been told the full story.
I’m pretty confident My dad couldn’t call 911 from my cell phone.
Ah - good point (but if I was too dumb to remember that . . . )
Not an airport there...nearby anyway.
“Don’t go anywhere unarmed.”
Amen. With your head on a swivel.
There is nothing at all pointing to that. Why would you even suggest it?
Doh!!
Well go ahead and guess. And then give you your reasons considering the area.
The motives are usually drugs and/or money with these kinds of crimes. Wonder if we’ve been told the full story.
Yep. Drugs, money and/or women related cover 90%+ of these type of violent crimes.
Unbelievable.
Sounds like PETA.
My guess is they really were fishing.
I have gone out at night several times. Flounder gigging, sucker gigging. Never been catfishing at midnight but friends have.
maybe all the filmed knock out games??
guess we’ll all know soon enough.
Seems some bad guy's and Pol's were payng off South Americans. Or just just making $$$...
