Two men have been jailed for life for the murder of Joseph Riches in Stourbridge in July last year.
Two defendants, who are both aged 16 and cannot legally be named, were given 15-and-a-half and 15 years in detention.
All four were found guilty of murder and possession of a bladed weapon at Coventry Crown Court on Monday.
Dray Simmonds, aged 20, of Dixons Green Road in Dudley was jailed for life on Thursday morning with a minimum term of 21 years.
He was also sentenced to 12 months to run concurrently for the possession of a bladed weapon charge.
Joshua Edgington, aged 20, of Hallewell Road, Winson Green was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years and 24 months to run concurrently for the bladed weapon.
The month-long trial centred around events of Saturday, July 15 last year when two groups of youngsters clashed in Stourbridge Town Centre resulting in the death of Joseph Riches, who was just 16, when he was stabbed to death.
