Kamraan was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.
There were indications he lived in Alameda, authorities said.
On Friday, however, the coroner's office said Kamraan's city of residence had not been confirmed due to the ongoing investigation.
At this point, authorities do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors in the collision.
As of Friday, the cause remains under investigation, CHP Oakland said.
The San Francisco Chronicle was the first to report the fatality Sunday in the hours after the crash.
