Anthoni Cirra (Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office)

A 26-year-old man in Wisconsin is facing decades behind bars after admitting to killing his friends’ 9-month-old baby boy, beating the child to death after volunteering to babysit while the parents were at work. Anthoni J. Cirra on Tuesday formally pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree reckless homicide and one count of first-degree recklessly endangering the safety of a child in connection with the slaying of Lochlan Steffes, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

In exchange for pleading to the more serious charges, prosecutors with the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office agreed to drop a third charge of felony bail jumping. However, that charge will be read into the record, meaning Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey A. Wagner may consider the underlying conduct that led to the charge when determining Cirra’s sentence.

Cirra is facing a maximum of 25 years on the reckless homicide charge and up to 12 1/2 years on the reckless endangering charge. He is currently scheduled to appear in court for his sentencing hearing on March 8, records show.

As previously reported by Law&Crime, the victim on the morning of July 7 was brought to the emergency room at Children’s Wisconsin and admitted with an array of severe injuries. The boy was unconscious and not breathing, with authorities describing his injuries as “life-threatening and highly concerning for child physical abuse.”

The following day, doctors took Lochlan off life support and pronounced him dead at approximately 7:19 p.m., police said. A preliminary evaluation determined that the boy suffered a significant brain injury “consistent with sustaining blunt force trauma to the head.”
