Logan Federico was visiting her boyfriend at the University of South Carolina in May. Her father, Stephen Federico, told the Daily Mail it was meant to be a weekend of celebration, with graduation festivities underway.
Instead, Logan crossed paths with Alexander Dickey, 30, a repeat offender with a rap sheet of 39 arrests, including 25 felonies.
Dickey has been sentenced in eight cases involving robbery, drug possession and larceny. In 2023, he was sentenced to five years in prison for burglary, but was released early with his probation set to end in June.
Prosecutors say Dickey crept into a fraternity house bedroom in the early hours of May 3, where Logan was asleep beside her boyfriend.
Startled awake, she screamed. Dickey allegedly forced her to her knees, naked and begging for help, before shooting her in the chest with a stolen 12-gauge shotgun. Prosecutors say he then fled in a stolen vehicle. He has not entered a plea in the case.
Just four months later, another young woman met a similarly brutal fate at the hands of a violent repeat offender.
Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, was riding the Charlotte light rail on August 22. Decarlos Brown Jr, 34, suddenly lunged from behind and stabbed her repeatedly in the neck as she texted her boyfriend.
