first this is likely an MS-13 issue, they have had a lot of issues especially in the past few years in this area. second, for them to know where he was buried and when he was killed, someone has been talking.

This boy sounds very much like this child I found missing from 2013. He was 13, African American & wearing the exact same clothes the doe was wearing. But I cannot find any further info on him besides this post & nothing saying he was found, so I'm pretty confused.

he may not be reported missing. if his parents are undocumented, they prob wont talk to LE and also if they know it was gang involved they may be in fear of their lives

I know this is an old post, but have you found anything about this young man? I still haven't been able to find any info, and there is next to nothing online.

I'm getting a permission error. Perhaps this case has been resolved and he's got his name back. Rest in peace, young man.
