Officials say the 20-year-old woman did not heed warnings from Egyptian border guards before they shot her in the chest and arms as she was trying to cross into Israel some 100km south of the Rafah border town.
Six other African migrants were taken into custody.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.
Many migrants seeking political asylum and jobs try to cross into Israel with the help of Bedouin traffickers. Egypt has killed dozens of migrants in recent years.
