I bought my iPad mini 2 wifi+ cellular and I've tried several times to contact the previous owner and have been unsuccessful. I don't know what else to do but I need to somehow get the activation lock removed

If you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them remove the device from their account, the device is worthless. Apple won't unlock it for you.
