Brian Thompson of UnitedHealthcare was shot several times last week in Midtown by a gunman who fled and then apparently boarded a bus out of the city.

Law enforcement sources told the BBC's US partner, CBS News, that officers have been despatched to the southern state and to stops along the bus route.

The search has entered its fifth day on Monday, though police have revealed neither a name nor a motive for the suspect, who was pictured several times on CCTV wearing a mask.

Much of the police activity has been focused on New York's Central Park which seems to have formed part of the gunman's escape route.
