Question
Can a young man who missed the time for reciting Shema (or prayer time) lead the Mincha prayer as chazan on the same day?

It is permitted, as long as he is not accustomed to missing Shema and prayer due to negligence and regularly.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Laws of Morning Blessings and Other Blessings, Siman 53, Seif 5
One who committed a sin inadvertently, such as accidentally killing a person and repenting, is permitted to be a shaliach tzibur.
Mishnah Berurah, Siman 53, SK 20
(20) It is permitted to be - this is not considered having improper conduct unless he is accustomed to doing unbecoming things, but one who made an inadvertent mistake and repented is considered a complete tzaddik in all respects and is permitted to appoint him initially as a shaliach tzibur.
