A man with a criminal record and history of mental illness
pleaded guilty on Monday to four counts of murder in a string of
deadly attacks on sleeping homeless men in San Diego, two of
whom were set on fire.

Jon David Guerrero, 42, agreed to be sentenced May 1 to four
consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of
parole and an additional 143 years to life in prison, the Union-
Tribune reported.

Guerrero also pleaded guilty to four counts of attempted murder,
five counts of assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of
arson for setting fire to two of four victims who died. The
charges involved 12 men and one woman who were targeted over six
months in 2016, the newspaper said.

Court records show Guerrero is diagnosed with schizophrenia and
has a history of arrests and mental competency hearings,
including one judge’s order that sent him to a state hospital
for treatment.

The only clue to a motive for the assaults came from Guerrero’s
first victim, who survived a knifing and asked his attacker,
“Why did you do this to me?”

“Because you’re a bum,” Guerrero replied, according to the
victim’s statements cited by the Union-Tribune.

One assault victim who survived, Michael Papadelis, attended the
Monday hearing and afterward said, “I think he did the right
thing,” by pleading guilty.

“I’ve been homeless. I know there are a lot of mentally ill on
the streets. I don’t hate Jon,” Papadelis, 58, told the
newspaper.

In 2018, Guerrero was declared mentally competent — meaning he
could understand the charges filed against him and assist in his
defense — and the criminal case against him went forward.
