It looks like he was in Greektown and I think people used to go there to but jewelry back then... He wore named brand clothes..."Used" was a popular brand in the 90s...Back in the 90s in Detroit people were getting killed for their shoes...He was wearing Gucci shoes...

The Detroit Pistons "Dream Team" was pretty popular in the early 90s so he would've stuck out like a sore thumb IMO...But Michael Jordan was pretty popular then to...

I wonder why they do not have a definitive height on this young man. I have used photoshop to clean him up a little. Has anyone found any mention in a newspaper or anything?

Thanks for caring, Becca. How sad that a recognizable young man remains unidentified for this long.

 

[Beccalicious]

I agree. I hate to see recognizable people to fall through the cracks.It is unfortunate..

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Bumping case up. Surely someone out there was or is missing him? He looks so young and innocent to me.

Speculation only:
Could he be:
