Okechukwu Iweha, 46, died from multiple stab wounds after he was attacked in Northumberland Park on April 7, 2024.
His killer, Devon Brown, was with Leandro Kaienga when they spotted Okechukwu on a bike they thought he had stolen.
Okechukwu brings the bike to a halt on Worchester Avenue following calls from Kaienga.
Brown corners Okechukwu and, while Okechukwu’s hands are still on the handlebars, Brown pulls a large knife out of his waistband before stabbing Okechukwu several times.
As Okechukwu is on the ground, Kaienga kicks away Okechukwu’s shoe and picks up his own hat from the road.
Brown can be seen assessing the bloodstained bike before deciding to leave it be.
The pair then walk off together, leaving Okechukwu to die alone on the pavement, before binning their clothes and the knife nearby.
Officers were called at 05:51am after Okechukwu was found unresponsive.
On arrival, police performed CPR and attached a defibrillator to Okechukwu before paramedics from the air ambulance carried out emergency surgery.
Okechukwu was pronounced dead at the scene an hour later. A post-mortem examination stated a stab wound to the chest as the cause of death.
Brown fled the country the morning after the murder but was located by Met Police officers in Dallas, America.
He was extradited and arrested on January 24, 2025 and charged following extradition procedures.
Kaienga was arrested on April 22, 2024 in Croydon and was charged with murder and perverting the course of justice the day after.
Devon Brown, 30, of Northumberland Park, Tottenham was convicted at the Old Bailey on December 11.
Leandro Kaienga, 29, of Robert Street, Croydon was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after being found not guilty of murder by the jury.
Detective Inspector Mark Johnson, who led the investigation, said: “Our detectives have been relentless in their pursuit for justice, and today, that was delivered for Okechukwu.
“My thoughts remain with his loved ones who continue to demonstrate togetherness despite significant heartache.
“The defendants who carried out this senseless, brutal attack took the life of a much-loved man, and showed no remorse in the minutes, hours and days that followed.
“Knife crime has no place in London. Although homicide figures in the city are at a five-year-low, we remain steadfast in our mission to reduce serious violence and ultimately ensure fewer incidents like this happen on our streets.
Brown and Kaienga will be sentenced at the same court on December 19.
