DC rapper ‘No Savage’ linked to Tysons mall shooting turns himself in

The D.C. rapper wanted in connection to a shooting at Tysons Corner Center in Fairfax County, Virginia, has turned himself in. Police say Noah Settles, 22, turned himself him at the Fairfax County jail Wednesday. He was sought on charges of attempted malicious wounding, discharging a weapon into an occupied building and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Last Saturday, panicked shoppers fled the mall after shots were fired inside. Surveillance footage reviewed by police showed a man, believed to be Settles, brandishing a firearm within the mall around the time of the shooting. Police said Settles was involved in a fight between two rival gangs and fired multiple rounds. He then fled the mall in a vehicle with D.C. tags.



The mall closed Saturday as police investigated and reopened Sunday around 11 a.m. Three people were taken to the hospital for injuries they got while fleeing, Fairfax County police said, adding that no one was injured from gunfire. Settle, a rap artist known as “No Savage,” has some 148,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Former Brazilian au pair testifies her ex-lover plotted to kill his wife, though lacks some details

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A former Brazilian au pair testified on Wednesday that she turned against her former lover in a sprawling double homicide scheme involving his wife because she “wanted the truth to come out.” For more than a year, Juliana Peres Magalhães did not speak with officials about the 2023 killings of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan, or about Brendan Banfield’s alleged involvement. But attorneys say that days before her own criminal trial, the former au pair changed her mind and began to talk. Now, Brendan Banfield is facing a trial in the aggravated murder of his wife and Ryan, and Magalhães’ testimony has become a key component of prosecutors’ case. Banfield, who has pleaded not guilty, could face life in prison if convicted. The way officials tell it, Banfield and Magalhães lured Ryan to their house. The two then shot him, staging the scene to look as if Ryan had been a predator stabbing Christine Banfield.
