Ford dealership gives new Escape to husband of El Paso shooting victim

More than 3,000 people attended Reckard's funeral last week after Basco, 61, invited the public to attend because he had no family in the area, El Paso TV station KVIA reported.
Casa Ford-Lincoln made sure the new Escape was blue — just like the one Basco's wife, Margie Reckard, had driven. Pictured is co-owner Ronnie Lowenfield presenting the vehicle to Basco.
