Has a bicycle ever panicked and killed an innocent bystander?

It doesn't take panicking - bicycle riders riding irresponsibly can and
do kill innocent bystanders (pedestrians).

A day after that article ran, I was driving on Embarcadero in SF, and a
bicycle passed me on the right (in the bike lane) and then proceeded to
blow thru a red light without so much as slowing down. Later that same
day, while I was stopped on Market at Spear, a bike ran thru the red
light, almost mowing down a pedestrian (who had the light) that was
crossing Market.
