When mental health and/or drugs are involved, the person is probably in a delirium for this type of thing to happen. Obviously I don't know anything about this dead suspect, but if you go back to the video, I think it is reasonable to deduce that the suspect is stuck in a delirium bcos the taser didn't really have much of an effect.

We can't see it from the video angles available, but if the dude made a move
to stab the women trapped behind the counter, it'd be the reason to escalate to lethal force.
