COLUMBIA, S.C. — Authorities have identified Logan Federico, 22, from Waxhaw, as the woman found dead in a Columbia home over the weekend. Her death, ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound, occurred while she was visiting friends on Saturday.
Columbia Police have arrested 30-year-old Alexander Dickey, identified as the suspected shooter.
