COLUMBIA, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- The man accused of killing a 22-year-old college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, appeared in Columbia Municipal Court on Tuesday.
Alexander Dickey, a convicted felon, is facing a long list of serious charges connected to a violent home invasion that left South Piedmont Community College student Logan Federico dead.
Dickey, who remains in jail without bond, stood before a judge on Tuesday, May 13, to hear the charges formally read against him:
Murder Two counts of first-degree burglary Two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime Two counts of grand larceny (valued between $2,000 and $10,000) One count of grand larceny (valued over $10,000) Three counts of financial transaction card theft Possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felonAuthorities said Dickey broke into two homes in Columbia, S.C., fatally shooting Federico in one of them. He is also accused of stealing credit cards, a firearm, and a vehicle. After attempting to flee, police said Dickey set a home on fire and had to be rescued before he was arrested.
The murder has devastated Federico’s family and community. Known for her kind heart and dreams of becoming a teacher, Logan was visiting friends in Columbia at the time of the deadly break-in. Her father, Stephen Federico, spoke at a recent news conference.
“You can’t kill my spirit,” Federico said. “You can kill my body, but not the love shared by my family and friends.”
Logan's father hugged investigators before Tuesday's hearing.

The fundraiser remembers Logan as “a proud Eagles fan who now watches from above” and someone who “leaves behind her brother Jacob, her loving parents, and countless people who were better for knowing her.”
Dickey will remain at the Lexington County Detention Center until a General Sessions Court bond hearing regarding the Columbia investigation, authorities said on Tuesday.
