UPDATE: 3 Friends Massacred While Fishing, Sheriff Grady Judd Requesting Information
July 18, 2020 at 10:44 pm
UPDATE: 7/18/2020 10:44am Per PCSO — Preliminary information is as follows: Around 10:06 p.m. on Friday, July 17, 2020, Brandon Rollins called his dad and said “Help” – his dad knew Brandon had gone fishing with his two friends, Keven and Damion. Brandon’s dad drove to Lake Streety Road. When he arrived he found his son Brandon barely alive, and his two friends deceased. Brandon was able to say a few things to his dad, which we are not releasing at this time.
Brandon’s dad left his home so fast, he forgot his cell phone. He drove to the nearest gas station to call 911.
When first responders arrived, all three men were deceased. They appear to have been beaten and shot. According to the families, the three men have been best friends for years and were fishing Friday night (on land, not in a boat).
A photo from the scene is attached in the link below. The trucks that the victims were in are the red and the white trucks. The black truck belongs to Brandon’s dad.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Keven Springfield, 30, Damien Tillman, 23, and Brandon Rollins, 27 were brutally beaten and shot to death as they met up to go fishing around 10 pm.
Sheriff Grady Judd said Tillman showed up to the lake first and was killed. Rollins and Springfield arrived together a short time later in a separate pickup truck and were shot. After the altercation, Rollins was able to call his father and ask for help.

Due to Florida’s Marsy’s law, names are typically not released; however, the names were authorized for release by the families. Check back frequently as details are subject to change as the investigation is developing.
