   It was a phone call a Florida man dreaded receiving from his son.   
      
   “Help,” Brandon Rollins told his father Cyril Rollins, according   
   to authorities.   
      
   Brandon Rollins, 27, and two longtime friends, Keven   
   Springfield, 30, and Damion Tillman, 23, were killed in   
   Frostproof, Fla., on Friday night. But before he died Rollins   
   called his father.   
      
   Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the three men were   
   “massacred” in the woods near Lake Street after parking their   
   two pickups to go catfishing. He described the murder scene as   
   "horrific," and said the killers were at large.   
      
   A spokeswoman for Judd told Fox News on Monday there was no new   
   information about the investigation to report.   
      
   “I was just so upset last night, I just didn’t know what to do,”   
   Cyril Rollins said in an interview with WFLA-TV.   
      
   Of the call from his son, Cyril Rollins said “we heard some   
   background and they fussing all that, but I left, I went on out   
   here.”   
      
   He also told the station, “When I got there I was looking for my   
   son. It was a mess. I found my son. I was holding him. He was   
   telling me what happened but I was too shocked to know what was   
   going on.”   
      
   The elder Rollins has revealed what his son told him to   
   investigators, Judd said, but at this time they are not   
   disclosing details.   
      
   Rollins was sleeping when his son called. After finding his son,   
   he drove to a gas station and called 911. He had left his   
   cellphone at home when he rushed out of the house, Judd said.   
      
   WFLA also interviewed the mother of Brandon Rollins, who is   
   determined that justice be served.   
      
   "I know it can’t bring my son back, but I just want to see   
   something done,” Dottie Payton said. “This was horrible.”   
      
   The family said Brandon was an avid fisherman and wild hog   
   hunter. Payton said her son went fishing almost every other   
   night.   
      
   “I moved here from Jacksonville, Fla., for him two years ago and   
   this is not how it was supposed to be and I want justice for   
   him. And I will not stop until he gets it," she said.
