Doesn't seem that possible, but Stevey Sommerville is interesting.

Might be a stretch, but seeing some similarities between the UID and David King. Although the heights and weights don't match up exactly, but who knows?

Dates seem to check out.

He looks towards the younger end of the estimate to me, but of course death can relax the finer lines and play tricks. Wish there were photos of the Asian medallion!

@MadMcGoo wondering if you could post ruleouts? Seem to be a few people suggested above but not sure if suggestions/exclusions went through, or if they are worth looking at.

Jewelry does seem interesting - with such a good photo of him (if there is such a thing) you’d think there would be photos of the jewelry as well. I wonder if the items are even still available to be photographed? Might be worth asking..

I walk on the wild side! Messaged the Namus contact about jewellery though IMHO they generally don't respond. I'm not sure if they just don't want to work with the online community anymore or are simply overwhelmed, but it's de-motivating.

I think it may be a little of both unfortunately...and yes, it is discouraging. But I usually feel a little better knowing I tried! I hope you get an answer, otherwise, there’s always the LE agency

 

[ghostINshell]

Could this have been gang related???

 

[ghostINshell]

On his NCMEC, it says also that he recently had gone to the dentist due to him having a filling. He looks very young like late teens to early 20s in my eyes.
Have you seen this child?

Caution, opens with the PM photo visible, but it's not bloody or anything.
