A Baltimore man on trial for allegedly opening fire into a crowd of people in Brooklyn, hitting three, told jurors the judge and district attorney are framing him for the shooting — saying the only thing he is “guilty of is looking for love on Facebook.”

Cush Wright-El, who has been representing himself after firing a series of lawyers, told jurors he was nowhere near the October 2014 shooting of William Mayo, Kayshawn Mayo and Judith Daniels in Bedford-Stuyvesant and was being “framed” for the crime.

Wright-El was nabbed after a relative of two of the victims, Demetrius Mayo, jumped into his car and ran over him after the shooting.

“I came here simply because I thought I’d found love on Facebook,” the 26 year-old ex-con rambled during his summations.

Assistant District Attorney Timothy Gough contested Wright-El’s lovelorn summations, reminding jurors that a gun was found in his jacket and he was wearing the same coat and sneakers as the gunman seen in security footage.

Wright-El faces up to 75 years in prison. The jury begins deliberations Monday.
