EAST ST. LOUIS • A federal jury on Wednesday found an East St. Louis man guilty of five felonies connected to two armed robberies in 2013.

After a seven-day trial, jurors found Timothy R. Collier, 48, guilty of two counts of robbery, two counts of using a firearm during a violent crime and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He now faces up to life in prison when sentenced March 6.

At the time of his indictment a year ago, prosecutors said Collier took jewelry and a firearm from the owner of East St. Louis Jewelry and Loan on April 25, 2013 and shot owner Larry Osborn in the chest and head. Osborn survived but was left paralyzed from the chest down.

On July 12, Collier took cash from an employee of Arena Liquor in Belleville, they said.
