Noraa Deglow was 19 and a Bellarmine University student when she was shot at an apartment on Fir Trail in Jeffersontown on the evening of April 7, 2026. She suffered a single gunshot wound to her shoulder, was taken to hospital, and died during emergency surgery. Noraa was a 2025 graduate of Assumption High School and attended college on a scholarship with aspirations to become a nurse.

Police were called to the residence around 7:30 p.m. Her 21-year-old boyfriend, Adam Thomas, initially told detectives the shooting was an accident, saying he had picked up and thrown a gun that then discharged. Officers found a revolver in Thomas’s jacket with one spent cartridge. Multiple witnesses told police Thomas had a habit of pointing the gun at people in a playful but reckless way; one witness said Thomas immediately said the gun had misfired after the shot. Thomas later invoked his right to remain silent and was arrested and charged with Noraa’s murder; he was arraigned on April 8, 2026, with bond set at $500,000.

Does anyone have information about Noraa’s time at Bellarmine or the Fir Trail apartment that could help investigators?
