Becuase it was a duel. Burr killed Hamilton and ran away so as not to be arrested. It was because of the New York governorship.

Why did Hamilton and Burr fight?

Burr believed that Hamilton was the sole detriment to the rise of his political career, namely. Hamilton had intervened, for Jefferson, in the nasty election of 1800, and had also intervened in the race for the governor of New York later. Both times, Hamilton had ruined Burr's chances. This animosity led Burr to kill Hamilton in 1804.
