What if there is no longer contact with previous owner for activation lock

I was given a iPhone 6s so I have no idea that it had an activation lock; I have no contact with this person anymore. How can I remove the activation lock.

Activation Lock I recently purchased an IPhone XR and I went to set it up and it has an activation lock on it from the previous owner. I do not know who the previous owner is, so I cannot contact them to remove the phone from their account. I was wondering if Apple could remove the activation lock for me.

You can't without the person who locked it.
