Aaron Hein pleaded guilty to robbery, then testified against his best friend in the killing of 43-year-old Tim Nielsen, a repo man fatally shot in Oakland.
OAKLAND — Just two weeks after he pleaded guilty to robbery in a deal that dismissed a murder charge, 20-year-old Aaron Hein took the witness stand and tearfully testified that his best friend shot and killed a tow truck driver while the two were in Oakland searching for people to rob, court records show.
At Dragula’s preliminary hearing, he was ordered to stand trial on murder and attempted robbery charges. The main witness was Hein, who testified about the hours leading up to the shooting and the weeks afterwards, when Hein said he and the others went into hiding and tried to avoid discussing what happened over the phones, out of fear the cops were listening.
By the early morning hours, the group was planning to head back to Dublin when they spotted Nielsen’s tow truck and impulsively decided to rob it. Hein testified he was driving, that Griffin had a BB gun and that Dracula had a pistol, which he’d fired into the air to scare someone earlier that morning.
