Joint Enterprise is usually unjust.
But you can see in your example if one of the teenagers holds the man down and another one stabs him that maybe they both killed him, even if only one of them used the knife?
This UK radio programme talks about some of the miscarriages of justice caused by "joint enterprise" verdicts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01d44rm https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01d44rm

Of course, that would be understandable. And I don't think that would need the "joint enterprise" construct to be tried as both being murderers in most legal systems. The unjust concern is for the people who weren't such active participants in the act of murder (or called for it), but just on the "initial" crime.
