Valencia is a community within the city of Santa Clarita.

From the IG reel description:
CHP officers administered CPR on a homeless person in a remote, brush-filled area of Santa Clarita.
The incident began at around 8:15 p.m. when CHP officers were flagged down near the intersection of Magic Mountain Parkway and Tourney Road by someone reporting a medical emergency.
Officers followed the call for help to a heavily vegetated area near the Iron Horse Trailhead, just north of Magic Mountain Parkway and east of Interstate 5. There, they found an unresponsive person and immediately began CPR.
Despite continued resuscitation efforts, the person was declared dead by paramedics shortly after.
