Jefferson, a 26-year-old native of the city, was found lying in a ditch on Butterfield Drive a week ago. His car was parked with the keys in the ignition three miles away on Locust Street between two abandoned houses. Thpse associated with Jefferson, who was president of Jefferson and Company Models Inc., expressed shock and disbelief at the news of his violent death, which remains shrouded in mystery. He had no fcnown enemies, said his mother, Esther Jefferson of 3554 Prospect Drive, where her son lived with her and his father, Clyde Jefferson. "He wasn't a violent person," said his mother. "All of his friends loved him so, both black and white. "I >ust couldn't believe someone would do this," she said. "I still can't understand why. I've never known him to have any enemies-." One of Jefferson's models, Renee' Hill of 1809 N. Jackson St., described her.mentor as "outstanding" and said the news of his death left her stunned.

Hill, a sophomore accounting major at Winston-Salem State University, became acquainted with Jefferson last June through some cosmetic shows he conducted in association with a local beauty salon. "He (Jefferson) made us feel like professionals," said Hill. "He made us feel as big as Fashion Fair. He knew that we could go places, and we still may." The board of directors of Jefferson's company, as well as his 12 female and two male models, had planned a meeting last night to discuss the possibility of continuing his growing company, which he founded about a year a on - ? ? "The models have expressed a desire to continue in his (Jefferson's) memory his dream of being important and being beautiful," said Dorothy Graham Wheeler, the board's vice president and and a management^and arts consultant. Wheeler said she was dumbfounded when she learned of Jefferson's death, and called his home three times to ask if she had heard the news correctly.
