Evan Chase Francis Rain , 30 , is accused of gunning down security guard Harshandeep Singh .

He and a woman, Judith Saulteaux , are charged with first -degree murder and possessing a prohibited weapon.

Parole Board documents show Rain previously served federal time for leading police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle.

He did not apply for parole after learning Correctional Service Canada opposed his release but was granted statutory release.

Rain's statutory release was revoked on two occasions.

Court records show Saulteaux has a previous criminal record and in 2017 was sentenced to three years in prison for aggravated assault and weapons charges.

Singh was a 20-year-old international student from India who had begun working as a security guard just days before , a family spokesperson said.
