(KAIR)--Flags are flying at half-staff across Kansas, as directed by Governor Laura Kelly, in honor of a late magistrate judge.

According to release from Kelly's office, 21st District Magistrate Judge William Malcolm died from injuries sustained in a car accident earlier this month.

Kelly, in the release, calls Judge Malcom "a dedicated public servant who, for nearly two decades, worked hard to ensure justice for the citizens of Clay and Riley Counties."

Malcolm died October 15.

Flags will continue to fly half-staff at the State Capitol Complex, and all court buildings and facilities, until Monday.
