Authorities say homicide investigators and deputies responded to investigate the woman's death when they saw a man walking on a dirt access road next to another road where the woman's body was found.
The dirt access road is private, and cordoned off by a barbed wire fence, authorities say.
As deputies made contact with the man, he allegedly took out a knife. Deputies tried to detain him, but he "advanced toward" them and deputies opened fire.
The woman and man were pronounced dead at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the L.A. County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
