Can't find my iPhone in Find My

So I was wanting to get an iPhone 13 mini that my friend is selling me, but when I tried to set it up, I can't get past a screen that says " There's an issue with this iPhone, it's been reported lost or stolen.....", So we took a look under his Devices in FindMy, and the iPhone doesn't show there, but the phone displays a message that says it is Owner locked and then it goes back to the "lost or stolen" screen.

Any advice?
