My theory is that he saw a hand pull the gun and panicked because he thought it was the victim's hand.

He clearly panicked specifically to something, it looks like he panicked at seeing a fellow "agent" pulling the victim's weapon. Not the weapon itself which he seems to be watching before drawing, but the hand removing the weapon.

Since he had tunnel vision on the gun, he failed to recognize the hand removing the gun as being separate from the victim.

Watch the video again, he drew his gun after the other officer had removed the victim's gun. He then took the time to back away and reposition before shooting the victim

It seems pretty obvious that this was a retaliatory killing for the protests Friday and they targeted the guy with a gun so they could justify it for self defense
