Badri Issa, 22, was stabbed to death in the street by Raami Mohamed.
Mr Issa, who hoped to become a mechanical engineer, was heading to the gym with his pal Omar Jeylaani when Mohamed gestured to his friend to pull over in Moss Side.
Manchester Crown Court heard Mohamed and Mr Jeylaani had previously been in a dispute over a car.
After stopping their vehicles, the pair became involved in a stand-off. Mr Issa, acting as a peacemaker, got in between them and told them to ‘chill’. As tensions rose, Mohamed pulled a knife and stabbed Mr Issa in the chest.
Last month, Mohamed, 22, was found guilty of murder following a trial. A second man, Kevell Blake, 20, was acquitted of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter. Prosecutors said he ‘assisted and encouraged’ Mohamed in the killing.
