One call was from a resident who believed Wisdom was hiding inside her home in a crawl space and another who reported a friend saw a light on inside her home while she was out of town, according to The Sag Harbor Express.

Police have not disclosed if the calls have provided them with any further information on the investigation.

Wisdom entered the home of his cousin on Hillside Drive, where Wisdom also resides, at 7:40 p.m. last Tuesday, demanding money with what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon, police said.

He then put the gun in the head of his cousin and fired two shots at a TV set inside the home, according to police.

The cousin ran out an open back door and to a neighbor’s house, according to police.

Police found Wisdom’s minivan in the driveway of a neighbor, where he had permission to park it, but appeared to be stuck in a snowdrift the following day, according to The Sag Harbor Express.

Emergency services responded along with K-9 and aviation in an attempt to find him, but could not be found despite a through search of the area, according to The Sag Harbor Express.

Police told The Sag Harbor Express that Wisdom recently served time in prison for drug possession charges and is believed to be originally from New York City but could have moved to Southampton before moving to his current address in Sag Harbor recently.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Sag Harbor Village Police at 631-725-5167. All calls will be kept confidential.
