As investigators continue to piece together the final known hours of Thomas Simpkins, attention has increasingly turned to the Super Bowl–weekend gathering he attended — a party that some family-linked social media sources say took place at a residence on Cayuga Drive in San Jose.

What began as a festive post–Super Bowl celebration has now become a focal point in a broader timeline reconstruction. Authorities have not publicly released a full list of attendees, and it remains unclear how many guests were present at the gathering that night. Friends, acquaintances and community members are believed to have circulated in and out of the residence as celebrations continued.

According to individuals familiar with social media posts shared by relatives, the specific address on Cayuga Drive has been referenced as the location of the event. However, law enforcement has not officially confirmed details about the host, the number of attendees or whether anyone at the party is considered a person of interest.

Those close to the family say understanding who was present — and who may have interacted with Simpkins shortly before he left around 9 p.m. — is a critical piece of the puzzle. It was from that gathering that he reportedly requested an Uber ride home. Later, he texted family members that he had arrived safely.

Yet the gap between that reassuring message and the tragic outcome has intensified scrutiny of the hours preceding his departure.

Police have emphasized that the case remains an active death investigation. Detectives are reviewing witness statements, digital communications and any available surveillance footage in an effort to clarify the sequence of events. Whether anything occurred at the Cayuga Drive residence that could shed light on Simpkins’ final movements has not been publicly disclosed.

For now, the identities of those in attendance remain largely unconfirmed in official records. But as investigators work to reconstruct that night step by step, the gathering on Cayuga Drive stands as the last known setting where Thomas Simpkins was seen alive — a location that may hold answers to questions still echoing long after the celebration ended.
