Because he was scared? (Not to suggest that this cop was anyone for him to be scared of, of course.)
I can think of any number of other reasons. I can even think of a few hypotheticals that would legally justify shooting a fleeing suspect (running towards a gun, running to attack someone), but the video confirms that none of those were actually happening here.

I saw something this morning about him having some reason to fear going to jail - unpaid tickets or something maybe - and thus having a reason to run.
As usual, the video leaves some important questions, like what the object that drops at the cops feet was, how that got where they were (didn't look like a roadside), and how much of a struggle happened before the video. Not sure any of that really matters in the end, though.
