Logan Federico was 22 and a college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, when she was found dead inside a Columbia, South Carolina, residence on the morning of May 3, 2025. Friends returned to the Cypress Street home before 3 a.m.; at about 11:15 a.m. they discovered Logan deceased. An autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide.

Police say the incident began with a burglary at a neighboring Cypress Street house, where investigators believe the suspect stole a firearm and car keys before forcing entry into the home where Logan was staying. Authorities identified 30-year-old Alexander Dickey as the suspect; he allegedly took a wallet containing credit and debit cards, shot Logan despite her not being an intended target, and fled in a stolen vehicle. Dickey is reported to have used the stolen cards in Lexington and Saluda counties, then carjacked a second vehicle, crashed it, and later barricaded himself in an unoccupied home where a fire started before officers pulled him from the building and took him into custody.

If anyone has information about the events on Cypress Street that morning or knew Logan, please come forward to assist the investigation.
