I bought a used iphone 7plus from a flea market in Oakland. Took it home, charged it, tried to activate it, and found out it's owner locked. What can I do? I have no idea who the previous owner is and ver irritated because I paid $200 for this phone and can't return it.

As Axel Foley told you:
”There is nothing you can do about this.”
Recycle the iPhone. It will remain useless forever.

Next time do your homework. You shouldn't have spent more than $30-$40 tops for an iPhone 7.
There is nothing you can do about this. You have run into the Activation Lock which is a security feature. You will need the original owner’s Apple ID and Password to remove the Activation Lock. Since you do not have those credentials to enter into the iPhone, this iPhone will be useless to you.

If you lost your iPhone 7 Plus, and you had Find My turned on, you can make a request to put it into Lost mode. You can do that from the Web interface https://www.icloud.com/find/ or from other Apple devices linked to the same Apple ID account.
If you are asking how to bypass Activation Lock on an iPhone 7 Plus that you found, that is locked to some other person whom you have no way of contacting, you can't.
I don't know who the original owner is. How do I get a hold of them can apple give me their information or put me in touch?
