The other image shows the shell casing ejecting and the slide moving forward, with mace in the air having not yet reached the shooter.
It does appear that the deceased individual attempted to mace the shooter, who already had his gun drawn out, to try to prevent himself from getting shot.
In the video you can hear the mace a millisecond before the shot. This picture also proves there was a good bit of distance when the gun was drawn. He had no reason to fear for his life.
It does seem like the deceased was moving away and turned just before the shot to spray the bear spray. His feet and legs are in the process of turning in the video, and in the picture we're all seeing, he's almost completed the turn - his right foot is about to plant forward, and he's milliseconds from being hit, with the projectile already in the air between them.
Yup. Gun drawn and no mace in the air.

sadly, the bullet had already impacted long before this photo was taken.
