Badri Issa, 22, was stabbed to death in the street by Raami Mohamed.
Mr Issa, who hoped to become a mechanical engineer, had been 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 Jeylaani had previously been embroiled in a dispute over a car.
After stopping their cars, the pair became involved in a stand-off and Mr Issa got in between them and told them to 'chill! But as tensions rose, Mohamed produced a knife and stabbed Mr Issa to the chest.
Mohamed, 21, 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. Both men will be sentenced next month.
