The remaining two defendants in a Riverside murder-for-hire trial were convicted today.

Frank Bazzo, of Murrieta, and Joe Olivarez, of Altadena, were found guilty of killing Mostafa Shirazi in front of the Riverside Public Utilities office in downtown Riverside on Aug. 15, 2005.

On Monday, Shirazi's ex-wife, Epifania Nicolas, a Blythe dentist, was acquitted by a separate jury of conspiring with Bazzo and Olivarez.
