Congressman Norman Demands Answers From SLED After Murder of Logan Federico
Washington, D.C.,
October 9, 2025
WASHINGTON D.C. — Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC) is calling on South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel to explain how a violent repeat offender was able to remain free and fatally murder Logan Federico on May 3, 2025. Alexander Dickey, the suspect, had eleven prior arrests and roughly 40 charges, yet gaps in his criminal record, including missing fingerprints from a 2014 burglary, allowed him to avoid proper accountability. “An incomplete rap sheet is not a clerical error; it’s a public safety failure with deadly consequences,” wrote Congressman Norman in the letter. “Logan Federico is dead because a violent repeat offender’s record was full of holes. South Carolina cannot afford a criminal justice bureaucracy that allows violent offenders to slip through the cracks.” Norman is demanding answers on how these errors occurred and what reforms SLED has implemented to prevent future tragedies.
