Sounds fishy
Odds that this is drug related?

Three Florida men were fatally beaten and shot while on their way to fish in a remote area late Friday night, according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
quote:
“This is a horrific scene,” Judd said Saturday. “I’ve been to a lot of murder scenes in my life, and this ranks among the worst.”
quote:
According to the preliminary investigation, Judd said just after 10 p.m. Friday, Rollins called his dad on his cellphone and said “Help.” Judd said Rollins’ father knew his son was fishing with his two friends and drove to Lake Streety Road.
Upon arriving at the scene, Rollins’ found his son barely alive and his two friends both dead.
Judd said Rollins was able to say a few things to his dad before he died, which the sheriff’s office didn’t release at the morning briefing.
Judd said it appeared that Tillman arrived first in his red pickup truck, and that while he was being killed, Rollins and Springfield arrived in a white pickup truck and also were shot.
“In Brandon’s father’s excitement to run to help his son, he forgot his cellphone at home. So now he is out in the middle, as you can see, of no place without any communication,” Judd said. The father drove back to the nearest convenience store to call 911 and said “my son needs help.”
A 17-year-old girl, the daughter of the convenience store’s owner, jumped into Rollins’ father's vehicle and the two drove back to Lake Streety Road, Judd said.
quote:
By the time authorities arrived, Rollins had died of his injuries.
“These folks appear to be beaten and shot. ... We are seeking leads, we need help so we can solve this crime sooner rather than later,” Judd said.
He did not say whether authorities have identified any suspects, but noted that his department is offering a $5,000 for any information leading to the capture of the killers. He said investigators believe more than one person was involved in the slayings.
Describing the “quiet, quaint” community surrounded by groves, forest and cattle ranches, Judd said the scene area was “about as far out in the woods as you can get.”

This sounds like the work of Jake from Statefarm.

Why didn’t the dad use his sons cellphone to call 911. The son used it to call his dad...why wouldn’t dad use it to call 911.
Better yet, why wouldn’t son also call 911.
None of this makes any sense.

Passcode protection, probably.

Every smartphone has an sos mode you can use to call 911 and bypass passcodes.

Why wouldn’t the dad call 911 before he left the house?
Posted on 7/19/20 at 11:46 am to NastyTiger
Don't most phones allow 911 calls even with pass code protection?

Old Jake would have never done this. New Jake? I wouldn’t put it past him.

I believe this just happened Friday night. Do we have a psychic among us?

Seems like his cell phone wasn't the only thing he forgot to bring. Why did he leave his son to go find a phone?

90%
Why did son call father and not 911?
Why didn't father call 911 from home?
