Authorities have identified a suspect wanted in connection to Saturday’s shooting at Tysons Corner Center mall in northern Virginia.
The Fairfax County Police Department said in a statement on Sunday that officers are searching for Noah Settles, a 22-year-old resident in Washington, D.C., who is a professional rapper and performs under the stage name “No Savage.”

The department alleged that Settles got in a “dispute” with another group, brandished his firearm, and then fired multiple shots before driving away in a black Cadillac with Washington, D.C., tags. They warned that he is considered armed and dangerous.
Police said Settles faces multiple charges, including attempted malicious wounding, discharging a weapon into an occupied building, and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Authorities also confirmed that Settles was arrested in 2019 and 2020 on gun possession charges.
“We will find, we will capture, and we will hold accountable the persons involved for this melee,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said at a press conference on Saturday before Settles had been identified as the suspect.
In his capacity as “No Savage,” Settles has an impressive 148,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 50,000 YouTube subscribers.
