Maiel Abdulbaki stabbed Minh Thuc Tran, also known as Richard, in the back at an address on Arden Road on the 15 January before going on the run.
Other residents attempted to help Minh, but nothing could be done to save the 43-year-old and sadly he died at the scene.
Abdulbaki was still in the clothing he was wearing when he fled the scene and Minh’s blood was found on his clothes.
During an interview, he told detectives he had acted in self-defence claiming that a series of incidents had led up to the stabbing.
At Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday (24 July), the 44-year-old was found not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter.
Abdulbaki will be sentenced next month.
