I only found 2 missing Black men from NY shortly before that, None was named Peter or Pete, there is acyually nobody with that name so I guess it's just a "steet name" or he wasn't reported missing in the first place.

No updates to this case and no obvious other options in Namus or DoeNetwork to supplement the two men suggested above.

so I guess it's just a "steet name" or he wasn't reported missing in the first place.

Could be, for sure.

There is a Petersburgh/Petersburg, NY also. I've known people who had nicknames based on where they were born/lived previously.
