I have to think that most murders are preventable. It starts with hiring the right people, then accused can do themselves a big favor and not resist or try and be heroes believing that somehow if they run they will be free. It's a problem when you have distrusted, often unaccountable officers, and a society that is raised to hate and defy authority.
The worst decision a perp can make is to fight or to run. First, your chances of getting away are slim at best, second, you place everyone in a bad position. When someone is chasing you they now have to worry about their own safety, especially if running at night. It cannot end well for the criminal, it's not a game of tag, the guy chasing you has a gun. Just comply, deal with it in court. The police might even be honest with the judge and let them know you were fully compliant.
That said, there have been some horrific murders by police. One was livestreamed by a guys girlfriend when the guy was upfront with the office and told him "I have a registered gun" and then the cop demanded his licence and registration and the guy calmly reached for it and was shot multiple times in the chest. The cop became scared when he reached, afraid he might have his gun on him. So, why in the hell did you ask for his license if you were afraid of what he might be hiding? Complete idiot.
For me, it's a clip I won't be able to strip from my mind. This guy was complying and was now sitting their struggling to breath and he died. If I recall the officer was hispanic and the murdered man was black. Since this didn't fit the narrative (racist white cop), it didn't receive mass media attention it deserved.
If that officer is still a cop, God help his community. Bad guys are bad news, but bad cops (and those who cover for them) are the most dangerous.
