Oakland, CA— A motorcyclist killed in East Oakland in a hit-and-run crash on Sunday afternoon was identified by the Alameda County coroner's bureau Monday as a 34-year-old Oakland resident.

Officers in the area of 80th Avenue and International Boulevard saw Alexander Philip Murphy crash into a parked car on his motorcycle at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to police.
