Father of NC college student 'furious' after career criminal allegedly kills daughter in USC house burglary

[NYPOST] The father of a North Carolina college student who was shot in a ''random'' burglary earlier this month while she was staying with University of South Carolina students for the weekend was ''furious'' when he learned of the suspect's lengthy criminal history.

Logan Federico, a 22-year-old aspiring teacher from Waxhaw, was visiting friends at USC in Columbia, South Carolina, and staying at a house on Cypress Street on the evening of May 2 through May 3.

In the early morning hours of May 3, suspect Alexander Dickey, a 30-year-old ''career criminal,'' entered the home in the early morning, stole several credit and debit cards and fatally shot Logan in what Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook described as a ''random'' crime during a May 5 press conference.

''She was supposed to go down the night before, and plans got canceled — so she decided to do it on a Friday,'' Logan's father, Stephen Federico, told Fox News Digital. ''That's the thing that's just gut-wrenching. She wasn't even supposed to be there. She was supposed to be home Friday.''

On Saturday afternoon, Logan's mother, Melissa Federico, was at home cooking when two officers showed up at her door to tell her the news that Logan had been shot dead in Columbia. Stephen had been golfing with friends when his wife called.

#1 The plan worked. They defunded the police.

EM,

I live in Columbia, and believe me when I tell you there has been no defunding of police here - if anything, their funding has gone up. The last year I see Federal numbers for is 2023, and we had 27 murders in Richland County (the stats cover the whole county, not just inside the boundaries of Columbia proper). 27 is 27 too many, but this one wasn't due to a lack of policing - a single feral criminal decided to get up in the middle of the night and rob a house at random. He got surprised and shot Miss Federico. The one consolation here is that this is South Carolina. He will die in prison, one way or the other.

#4 It's a gift of the Karens who preach 'reform' rather than dealing with deadly recidivist sociopaths.
