In the early morning hours of May 3, 2025, a 30-year-old man named Alexander Devonte Dickey parked a stolen vehicle on the side of the road on Cypress Street in Columbia, South Carolina. He then broke into a home and stole several items, including a firearm, car keys, and a wallet. Dickey then entered the unlocked door of another nearby home, where he encountered a 22-year-old aspiring teacher from North Carolina named Logan Federico, who was in town visiting friends. After dragging Federico out of bed, Dickey pressed his firearm up to her ribcage, and shot her to death. He also stole several items from the home, including credit cards.
Authorities didn’t respond to the home until nearly noon the next day, when Federico’s body was discovered. By that point, Dickey had used his stolen credit cards to purchase numerous items in West Columbia. He also stole another vehicle, committed arson, and so on. Watch:
