Lucious Winchester was armed with knives when he was involved in a scuffle with two men in Harrow Street on 27 July last year.
It happened at around 5am and Jetmir Pemaj, aged 33, was tragically confirmed dead at the scene.
Another man in his 20s was taken to hospital with stab injuries which were fortunately not life-threatening.
Mr Pemaj and an associate had pulled up in a car and then challenged and chased after Winchester as he tried to flee on foot.
There was then a brief struggle between them and Jetmir was fatally injured. Winchester casually walked back to the car and fled the area.
We discovered three discarded knives in the vicinity which we were able to pinpoint as belonging to Winchester.
After we identified the 25-year-old of Barnwood Road, Quinton, as the prime suspect he was arrested two days later.
Winchester pleaded guilty to manslaughter, wounding and aggravated burglary. He was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment today.
