   The accused killer of three men who were on a weekend fishing   
   trip in July could face the death penalty if convicted.   
      
   Tony “T.J.” Wiggins, 26, arrested July 21, is believed to be   
   responsible for the deaths of Damion Tillman, 23, Keven   
   Springfield, 30, and Brandon Rollins, 27, who were found dead   
   near their trucks in a forested area of Frostproof near U.S.   
   Highway 27.   
      
   Wiggins was indicted by a grand jury in September and formally   
   charged with three felony counts of murder in the first degree,   
   one count of tampering with evidence and one count of possession   
   of a firearm by a convicted felon, Polk County court records   
   show.   
      
   On Tuesday, prosecutors filed a notice in Circuit Court stating   
   that Wiggins was previously convicted of another capital felony   
   and the killings were committed to avoid or prevent arrest or to   
   escape custody, according to Polk County court records.   
      
   The filing came one day after an online petition on Change.org   
   asking prosecutors to seek the death penalty reached its goal of   
   1,000 signatures.   
      
   The victims were planning on a night of fishing when Wiggins   
   allegedly arrived with his brother, 21-year-old William “Robert”   
   Wiggins, and his brother’s girlfriend, 27-year-old Mary   
   Whittemore. Wiggins allegedly approached Springfield and accused   
   him of stealing his truck’s engine and selling it.   
      
   Wiggins then fired multiple rounds into all three men,   
   authorities say.   
      
   An investigation found Wiggins had seen Tillman at a Dollar   
   General store who he overheard Tillman telling the cashier his   
   plans to meet with Springfield for a fishing trip, according to   
   law enforcement.   
      
   Surveillance cameras confirm the Wiggins brothers and Tillman   
   standing in line together about 10 minutes before the shooting   
   took place, authorities say.   
      
   During the investigation, Robert gave detectives a statement   
   about the shooting leading to his brother’s arrest. Robert also   
   told investigators that his brother threw the gun used in the   
   killings out the window of his truck.   
      
   Robert and Whittmore are facing charges of accessory after the   
   fact to a capital felony.
