Published March 8, 2012 3:56 AM

A Riverside County jury convicted two men on Thursday – accused of killing a Desert Hot Springs man.

Prosecutors say Steven Banister, 28, robbed, beat and strangled Edward Keeley to death in 2009.

Travis Cody was also convicted of the same charges.

Prosecutors say the murder happened at Keeley’s Desert Hot Springs home after the two targeted him because he was a registered sex offender.

Both now face the possibility of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
