UnitedHealthcare boss Brian Thompson, 50, was shot in the back as he made his way to a conference on Wednesday, in what police believe was a targeted attack.

On Saturday, city mayor Eric Adams said the "net is tightening" around the gunman, who has so far evaded police despite an extensive search and the use of facial recognition technology.

The FBI has offered a $50,000 (£39,000) reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest.

The latest images of the man being sought are both taken from a vehicle. In one, he can be seen in the back of a taxi wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a disposable face covering.
