Three pals slain in ‘horrific scene’ while prepping to fish at Florida lake

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.

very interesting.

I was on the Polk County Sheriff’s FB page this morning and someone woman said she lives on the same street and there’s alot of drug dealing going on there. I’m sure we’ll all know more soon.

“ I’m sure we’ll all know more soon.”

Unless Coulter’s law kicks in.

We occasionally heard of these type things when living in South Louisiana. Either they were totally innocent and happened upon drug smugglers, or it was a drug deal gone bad.

Pretty sure he could !

“Mobile phones have a feature that will enable anyone to call 911 without entering a passcode. Parents can show their children this feature and explain how to make a 911 call easily and quickly from a cell phone.”

Is the lake big enough for an airdrop?

Coulter’s Law:

The longer it takes to reveal the name, the more likely it’s not a white person.

If you can’t flip it open and numbers light up, I’m pretty sure he couldn’t.

Always have a weapon with you. Always.

The problem is, a law abiding person stumbling upon such situation will never be as quick as the criminal because the criminal doesn't care and has no uncertainty whatsoever as to what he is going to do.

You can still dial 911 from a locked cell phone.

Wow! I never had a clue. Thanks!

So true. Even California, of all places, allows anglers to carry a handgun while fishing and while hiking to and from the fishing site (PC Section 12027). Just be certain where you are allows fishing and you have a license and you’re good to go.

Guns have been my hobby for years and now my retirement job is selling them, but I wasn’t a daily carrier until the rioting started.
Now I am never without one.
