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.
Or the conducted energy weapon's barbs didn't imbed into the muscles to work. If one or both of the barbs missed or got stopped by clothing, it may be less effective.

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.
