A beautiful 22-year-old college student was fatally shot inside of a Columbia, South Carolina, rental home on Saturday night by a career criminal who was “on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud,” the Columbia Police Department said.
Logan Federico, a college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, was spending the weekend at a rental home with friends in South Carolina when she was senselessly murdered by a career criminal.
After stealing firearms and credit cards from a nearby home, 30-year-old Alexander Dickey broke into the Columbia rental home early Saturday morning, entered Logan Federico’s room and fatally shot her.
Dickey fled the scene in a stolen vehicle and allegedly used stolen credit cards taken from the nearby home.
Police pursued Dickey after he fled into the woods. He reportedly broke into another home and set it on fire before police took him into custody after a standoff in Gaston.
Dickey was charged with murder, two counts of first-degree burglary, weapons possession and larceny.
Alexander Dickey is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal rap sheet.
ABC News reported:
The body of a young woman was discovered inside a rented house in Columbia, South Carolina, over the weekend, according to a press conference held by Columbia Police Department on Monday.
She was later identified as Logan Federico, a 22-year-old from Waxhaw, North Carolina, police said. Her cause of death was a fatal gunshot wound to the chest, according to Columbia Coroner Naida Rutherford.
The college student was spending the weekend with friends in a rented house in South Carolina when she was “randomly murdered by a career criminal” who was “on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud,” the CPD said.
When law enforcement closed in, Dickey fled into nearby woods, leading to a manhunt in severe weather conditions, police said. He later broke into another home and set it on fire, they added.
Officers were able to extract Dickey through a window and take him into custody, the CPD said.
Logan Federico’s distraught father, Steve Federico, fought through tears as he spoke during a press conference on Monday.
“I am Logan Haley Federico’s father, better known as ‘Dad,’ or her hero. Unfortunately, that day, I could not be her hero,” Steve Federico said. “My daughter, I cherished. She was a strong, fun-loving individual who did what she wanted to do and was spicy.”
“My daughter was working hard at school, working two jobs, to become a teacher. She loved and adored kids — children of all ages,” the father said. “The message I wanted to send to Dickey, who took my daughter’s life — this is from her: ‘You can’t kill my spirit. You might be able to kill my body, but you cannot kill my love that my family and friends shared with me.’”
