An 18-year-old Valencia man who has a mental health disorder and requires medication has been missing since Friday night, and investigators say he may be headed toward Six Flags Magic Mountain. Tommy Jamarion Andreatta-Valentine was last seen around 9 p.m. Friday on the 27600 block of Ensemble Place, a stretch of the FivePoint Valencia development, and his family is concerned for his well-being.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department classified Andreatta-Valentine as an at-risk missing person, a designation that carries specific legal weight. According to a bulletin from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, detectives are asking the public for help locating him. Under California law, at-risk classifications apply when a missing person shows indications of mental impairment or need for medical attention, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
That legal status is not just a label. Per the Justia Law summary of California Penal Code Section 14211, agencies must accept missing person reports without delay and transmit at-risk cases to state databases within two hours of receipt. The sheriff's bulletin, signed by Sheriff Robert G. Luna, describes Andreatta-Valentine as a Black male, 18 years old, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 240 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a grey t-shirt and black shorts, and his photo on file dates to June 2025.
Possible Route to Six Flags Magic Mountain
Detectives say Andreatta-Valentine may be traveling to Six Flags Magic Mountain, a 260-acre theme park situated roughly six miles north of the Ensemble Place neighborhood where he was last seen. The park stands as one of the largest private employers and highest-density public venues in the Santa Clarita Valley, drawing millions of visitors each year, according to the College of the Canyons. That kind of crowd density can complicate search efforts for law enforcement personnel trying to spot one individual among thousands of park guests.
The FivePoint Valencia community where Andreatta-Valentine lives has direct transit links to the area near the park. Santa Clarita Transit bus routes, including Route 3, connect the residential district to the Six Flags Magic Mountain transit terminal, per Moovit. It remains unknown whether Andreatta-Valentine had access to public transit or a personal vehicle, and whether park security at Six Flags has been alerted to watch entry gates.
Local Search Resources and Statewide Alert Options
The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, which covers the area where Andreatta-Valentine went missing, expanded its search-and-rescue capabilities in April by deploying a specialized drone program to help deputies locate missing and lost individuals. The case itself is being handled by the LASD Homicide Bureau's Missing Persons Detail, a unit based in Monterey Park that coordinates missing-person investigations across the county's 4,000-square-mile jurisdiction, the Santa Clarita Valley Signal has reported.
California also created a statewide alert system in October 2023 specifically for cases involving missing Black youth and young adults between ages 12 and 25. Senate Bill 673 established the Ebony Alert to help law enforcement locate this population, according to the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom. It is not known whether an Ebony Alert or a regional bulletin beyond the sheriff's department's own notice has been formally requested in Andreatta-Valentine's case.
