Logan Federico was a 22-year-old aspiring educator from Waxhaw, North Carolina, who was tragically shot and killed on May 3, 2025, during a home burglary in Columbia, South Carolina, near the University of South Carolina. The suspect, Alexander Devonte Dickey, a 30-year-old man with nearly 40 arrests and 25 felony charges, forced his way into a friend's home where Logan was staying. He shot her after a violent invasion during which he also stole car keys, a firearm, and credit cards, going on a spending spree before being apprehended. Logan's father, Steve Federico, has been vocally advocating for stronger justice and crime policies, criticizing the system that allowed this "career criminal" to remain on the streets despite his extensive criminal history. The case has drawn national attention amid debates over violent crime and repeat offenders, with the father pledging to fight for justice for his daughter until his last breath.
