I didn't hear the gunshot, just dude running yelling "Shots fired!".

Sam Debose was compliant in the video.

The officer asked for his drivers licsense, Debose started looking for it then the officer asked what was on the floor and Debose handed him an unopened bottle of gin. The officer asked for his licsense again and Debose asked what he was being pulled over for and the officer started to get condescending and said "Again...because of the front plate" or something like that. Then you see the officer reach I think then the camera gets shaky and you see running and dude saying "Shots fired!".

It's crazy

EDIT: you hear the car accelerate after the officer shot Debose, not before.

I heard it. It was instantly after the officer reached in the car. 

The officer was condescending. This is the crux of the problem nation wide. They presume without evidence that they're dealing with a criminal every time they encounter a civilian. I don't have a better approach because they have to take their own safety into account first but there's got to be a better way and because they approach each citizen as a criminal, it places the civilian on edge and if the civilian is on edge and ingrained to be less than cooperative, then the situation has the potential to become volatile. it's then the officers duty to de escalate a given situation, which they far too often fail to do, in fact often times escalate a situation by being a dick.  

 Im speculating but I'd bet he was profiling too.
