The man police say killed his sister and attacked several others with a knife on Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba was out on bail.
Court records show Tyrone Simard, 26, was charged with assault with a weapon and mischief for alleged offences that happened June 8.
The records say a Winnipeg court granted his release June 12 with various conditions, including a curfew and an order to not use drugs or alcohol or possess weapons.
RCMP say Simard stabbed eight people on the First Nation northeast of Winnipeg on Thursday.
His 18-year-old sister died and the others are in hospital.
Mounties say Simard fled in a stolen vehicle and died in a highway crash with an RCMP cruiser. An officer in the cruiser was also sent to hospital for treatment.
