Three Friends Death – The demise of three friends identified as Damion Tillman, 23; Keven Springfield, 30; and Brandon Rollins, 27, who were planning on going fishing on Saturday, July 18, before they met their end has been confirmed by the authorities.
The Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd reports that they got a call from the father of one of the men before he died.

The three friends were slain just moments after gathering together for some night fishing at a lake in central Florida, on Saturday.
Judd describes the killings at a Frostproff lake a “massacre.” It is reported that the men were beaten and shot to death.
At a press release on Saturday near where the bodies were found, Judd says, “This is a horrific scene, I’ve been to a lot of murder scenes in my life, and this ranks among the worst.”
Judd reports the investigators findings as: Tillman arrived at the lake first to meet his friends for “night fishing” for catfish. When Rollins and Springfield arrived, they saw Tillman being beaten. The attackers then began shooting them.
Rollins was still alive when the attackers left and called his father for help. His father rushed to the fishing spot about 10 minutes away, but forgot his cellphone in the hurry to help his son. He drove to a nearby convenience store, and the clerk helped him reach authorities, but by the time they arrived, Rollins had died.
According to Judd, the department is offering a $5,000 for any information leading to the capture of the killers as the investigators believe more than one person was involved in the slayings.
Judd continues by saying the attack wasn’t a random one.
“You don’t just stumble upon somebody out here. This is a dirt road, a clay dirt road, way out in the middle of what we call God’s country, on the way to a nice little fishing lake. It’s not like there’s a lot of people around here. As you can see, it’s cow pastures and lakes,” he said.
Investigation is still ongoing.
