   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.
