One woman is dead and another was briefly hospitalized after a man assaulted them in Quartz Hill Sunday night, authorities said.

The women were both found unconscious in the 42900 block of 59th Street just before 8:30 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

They were taken to a local hospital, where one was pronounced dead. The other woman was treated and released.

Authorities have not publicly identified the victims or the suspect, but investigators believe they were involved in “a physical fight.”

The man was captured while leaving the scene, and officials believe no other attackers were involved.
