It's a variant of "BB's Theme", the song that plays during the credits, the song that Sam sings throughout the game. Game's main theme.

Compare to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghk1RFr51xo at about 1:30, if I'm not mistaken, crescendo at 1:48 corresponds to gunshot in cutscene, with differences of obvious wordless vocals and, more significantly, final seconds of buildup in cutscene switching to classic, stereotypical even, "ominous tones". The particular leitmotif heard during that part of cutscene isn't very pronounced through the game, but, as is necessary for it to be called a leitmotif, is repeated during a song with different pitches and tempos multiple times.
