Keene man charged with second-degree murder in toddler’s death

KEENE, N.H. – A New Hampshire man faces second-degree murder charges in the death of a toddler last year. The attorney general’s office says Annthoni Bliss, 22, was taken into custody Tuesday for the murder of 23-month-old Luca Hudson in January of 2024. Keene Police say officers responded to a call of a toddler in medical distress. When they arrived, the child was unconscious and not breathing. He was taken to the hospital, where he died two days later. An autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and the manner was ruled a homicide.
