HARTFORD, Conn.—The search for a University of Connecticut student police say is armed and on the run after killing two people focused in its fifth day on Tuesday on Pennsylvania, where he was reported seen taking an Uber to a Walmart store.

Peter Manfredonia, a 23-year-old senior, is suspected of killing Ted DeMers, 62, in Willington, Connecticut, on May 22 and Nicholas Eisele, 23, who was found dead Sunday in Derby, Connecticut. Authorities say he then forced Eisele’s 23-year-old girlfriend into her car and fled the state with her.
