Armend Xhika: Pair convicted over Sheffield street fight stabbing death – BBC
Two men have been convicted over the killing of a man stabbed in a street fight.
Armend Xhika died after two groups arranged a meeting in Sheffield on 13 May 2021, police said.
CCTV footage showed Mr Xhika dropping to the floor after he was stabbed in the chest. He was taken to hospital by car where he later died.
Marsid Senia, 25, and Mentor Selmani, 28, were found guilty of his manslaughter at Sheffield Crown Court.
Police said the meeting was to settle a row between the two groups after a car crash which was blamed on Mr Xhika.
He received a 4in (10cm) deep stab wound to his chest, cutting through his heart, as well as four additional stab wounds to his neck and body.
Two of his friends were also stabbed in the incident in Earl Marshall Road.
Senia, of Burnett Street, Bradford, and Selmani, of no fixed address, were remanded in custody and will appear before Sheffield Crown Court for sentencing at a later date.
The pair were also convicted at an earlier trial of assaults on other members of the group the same evening, police said.
Det Insp Simon Cartwright said: "Armend lost his life at the hands of others for damage to a vehicle.
"He would not have died if those involved in his death were not intent on causing him harm and getting their 'justice' for a material possession.
"Knife crime devastates lives.
"The pain and trauma of losing a loved one to knife crime never goes away and Armend's family now have to face living without their loved one because of the defendants' decision to arm themselves with knives."
The force said it was still seeking two men in connection to the death of Mr Xhika, – brothers Eljaso Cela, 28, and 26-year-old Mateo Cela.

What time is Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III today? Schedule, main card start time for 2023 exhibition boxing fight – Sporting News
Floyd Mayweather once again steps inside the ring to compete in an exhibition fight. This time, he faces someone with legit combat sports experience and a last name nobody will ever forget. Mayweather faces John Gotti III, the grandson of infamous gangster John Gotti, on June 11.
The fight is inside the FLA Live Arena in Florida and airs on the Zeus Network.
Gotti turned pro in 2017. Winning five in a row to start his MMA career, Gotti lost his last fight in 2020 against Nick Alley. The 30-year-old has since competed in boxing bouts, winning two contests in the past eight months.
Calling this fight a “pinch-me moment,” Gotti has nothing but respect for Mayweather. However, he will not let his fandom get in the way of what he needs to do.

“I’ve been following him since I was eight years old,” Gotti said via Boxing Scene. “This was my idol. This was a guy I did school projects on. It was a guy I looked up to. The fact that I’m in a position to stand across the ring from Floyd is a tremendous honor. But make no mistake, June 11, I’m bringing bad intentions to that man. I don’t care if it’s an exhibition or not. You signed to fight me, there’s no quarter. It’s kill or be killed.”
This is the latest exhibition for Mayweather, who retired in 2017 at 50-0. In 2018 he teamed with RIZIN and beat young kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa via TKO. Mayweather fought Logan Paul and former training partner Don Moore in non-scored bouts. He beat Mikuru Asakura and YouTuber Deji in 2022 via TKO. In February, Mayweather went the distance against MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers.
Here is all you need to know regarding Mayweather vs. Gotti, from the time, channel, and card.
Mayweather vs. Gotti begins at 6:30 p.m ET | 3:30 p.m. PT. Ringwalks are scheduled for 10 p.m. ET | 7 p.m. PT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
