I can't see any comments. Is it just me?
Me too. Says they're shut down. Must have been something sensitive. Hint?

Possible, but I think it is a less likely motive.Maybe someone was just pissed that his fishing spot was being invaded.

I can’t imagine a Dad not taking his dying son with him to call for help.
Newspaper comment section is shut down but the article instead links reader to comments posted on the Ledger's official fb page. Here's the direct link.
See comments about 5 hours ago.
The Ledger
I’m wanting to agree. I’m just finding it hard to believe that this is random. I know people “do things” in these isolated spots but this smells more like an ambush to me.
I do not have FB either but you can view public pages such as the news sites and Polk County Sherriff without logging in. (An alleged BR family member posted a comment and shared a screenshot at the Ledger.I don’t have FB so I can’t see the comments but I notice the article says they suspect it was more than one perpetrator.
GRADY JUDD ON TRIPLE HOMICIDE: Polk Co. Sheriff Grady Judd says 3 men were killed after fishing in Frostproof
It would have to be more than one person doing the beating and shooting unless if the first victim was beat and dead before the other two friends arrived and then the last two were shot as soon as they arrived.I have to agree with ambush.
The suspect(s) were armed and road rage or fishing spot dispute could have been settled with a bullet. The Sheriff described the scene as a massacre -- the worst he's ever seen. Sheriff Judd wanted the public to know the victims were severely beaten and shot.
IMO, the attacker(s) making a statement, and sending a message.
Road Rage moves to the top of the list......
Suspected scenario based on image.
Light Bar on....High intensity as we can see it on in broad daylight in a photo.
Damion Tillman (Red truck) passenger from tire shows wet red clay from edge of road. Meaning he moved over to far right.
Brandon and Kevin (White Truck) parallel to Red truck indicates that the suspects vehicle was further ahead behind red truck
Verbal altercation leads to parties exiting vehicles staggering the initial vehicles position.
Escalation
Suspect(s) physical altercation escalated to shooting.
Suspect(s) anticipating possible CCW in white truck.
Suspect Profile
Makes suspect(s) felon or another CCW.
Ballistics will narrow search....

Listen to dads comment 2:48. Dad hears arguing in back ground.
This means that call to dad was made before the shooting.
setup/drug deal gone bad?
No fishing.
and, not all best friends.
Meth/drugs/illicit $ are definite possible variables.
Rollins and Springfield have extensive arrest records.
Armed assault and violent crimes for the former going back to 18 yo; meth for the latter, <modsnip>
No record for Tillman -- innocent victim?
Why was Tillman there first, and alone in his truck, only later to have Rollins' truck roll up when something was going down?
