A Florida sheriff said Monday that he had a $ 30,000 reward to help solve the murders of three friends who were killed when they got together to go fishing.
“Look, there are people out there who are going to turn in your brother for $ 100,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “This is $ 30,000 in cash. Without taxation. We don’t even have to know who you are. We just need information. “
Damion Tillman, 23; Keven Springfield, 30; and Brandon Rollins, 27, were killed Friday night near Lake Streety in Frostproof. Judd said the crime scene was ranked among the worst he has seen in his long career in law enforcement.

FLORIDA MAN DESCRIBES A DESPERATE CALL OF SON IN POLK COUNTY TRIPLE MURDER CASE
When he announced the award, he told reporters that among the hundreds of tips the authorities received, some were promising and others were “ridiculous.” He noted that the case has generated interest at the national level.
After they were beaten and shot, Rollins made a desperate call for help to his father, who woke up and led the scene, the sheriff said. Cyrus Rollins spoke to his son about what happened and then went to a gas station to call 911. When he returned, his son was dead.

“There has been some question why the father did not use the son’s phone from there,” said Judd. “Well, I don’t know if he looked for it or not, but he probably wouldn’t have found it. We had a hard time finding it ourselves. “
He said that Springfield and Rollins were attacked when they arrived on the scene in Rollins’ truck when Tillman was being killed.
Judd said the trucks were found in the middle of the road, parallel to each other, from the driver’s window to the driver’s window. Valuable items were found in vehicles that would have been taken if the move for the murders had been a robbery.

“We don’t see obvious reasons for the robbery,” Judd said. “We see no signs that a drug business has gone wrong. We see no signs of a domestic violence event. So we still don’t know why the killings happened. “
