First of all, it looks like the officer is holding a taser and the man running away is holding a gun. Secondly, officers are trained to consider a taser a lethal weapon because if the officer gets tased, the perp then has access to his gun.

Not murder at all. Not even manslaughter. It's called justifiable shooting and self defense.
