He killed security guard Ramandeep Singh as he locked up the carpark to Massey's Royal Reserve in West Auckland - in December 2023.
Tangira attacked Singh after a night spent drinking at home, when he wandered to the nearby park with a teen - who's already been found unfit to stand trial.
Singh's jaw was broken in multiple places, with fractures to his skull, cheeks and orbital sockets.
Tangira will be sentenced next month.
