LITTLE ROCK (KATV) A judge has sealed investigative files in the killing of former Arkansas senator Linda Collins-Smith.
The Randolph County prosecuting attorney's office announced Wednesday that Circuit Judge Harold Erwin had sealed documents and statements obtained by police.
The Randolph County sheriff's office said it will issue a "brief statement" on the case Wednesday. They did not answer
The order comes after Collins-Smith was found dead from a gunshot wound at her home in Pocahontas on Tuesday. Ken Yang, her former press secretary, has said her death is being investigated as a homicide.
According to Yang, neighbors heard gunshots a day or two before Collins-Smith's body was found. Her body was reportedly wrapped in a blanket.
Smith was a Republican state representative from 2011-2013. She served in the state senate from 2015-2019.
In statement Wednesday, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said he was "stunned and saddened" by Collins-Smith's death.
"She was a good person who served in the public arena with passion and conviction," Hutchinson tweeted. "The First Lady and I extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends during this difficult time."

“Her body was reportedly wrapped in a blanket.
Maybe she was on her way to a nearby park.

She was investigating $27 million of Child and Family service money, that was somehow being routed to the Clinton Foundation and/or companies controlled/owned by the Clinton Foundation.
