No Savage will spend three years in prison for firing a gun inside a Virginia Mall last year.
On Friday (June 23), Fairfax County Commonwealth attorney Steve Descano settled on No Savage’s sentencing. In addition to doing time, the DC rapper will be on probation for 10 years. He is also not allowed back inside Tysons Corner Center, which is where the incident took place.

“Today, the justice system has shown that perpetrators of gun violence will be held accountable for their actions,” Descano said. “Firing a gun into a public space is a serious crime, one that endangered our community members and threatened their future sense of safety.”
He added: “In cases like these, it is the prosecutor’s job to ensure accountability and use the tools at our disposal to prevent this sort of dangerous incident from happening again.”
No Savage, whose real name is Noah Settles, was facing up to 33 years in prison when he pleaded guilty to three counts of maliciously discharging a firearm in an occupied building and one count of using a firearm in commission of a felony.
Whereas prosecutors were looking to send Savage away for 15 years, the “Long Day” MC got the mandatory minimum sentence.
The statement released by Descano also revealed the following details about the incident in question: “The shooting occurred on Saturday, June 18, 2022, over Father’s Day Weekend. No one was hit by the bullets, but three people were injured during the mall’s evacuation.

“During court hearings, video footage from mall surveillance cameras and bystanders’ phone show Settles getting into an altercation with another group of young people, fleeing briefly, then turning back to fire three shots by a mall kiosk.”
Four days after the incident, on June 22, 2022, Savage turned himself over to police.
