CLEVELAND -- A laid-off ironworker who told his family he wanted out of a job as a Cleveland nightclub bouncer has been fatally shot on his final shift.

Police say there have been no arrests in the killing of 25-year-old Ivory Wright, who was shot early Saturday during a fight at the club where he was working security.

Wright had held the job for at least a year to make ends meet. But his brother says Wright thought being a bouncer was too dangerous and had been looking for something else.

Relatives and friends say Wright told them he would be going in to work at the club for the last time Friday night because he had another possible job in the wings.
