Oakland, CA – 27 October 2021 – Arrests have been made of two 20-year-old men for the murder of 43-year-old repossession agent Tim Nielsen. Both were arrested last September and charged with murder and attempted robbery.
The men, Aaron Hein and Marco Dragula, of Dublin, have been charged with murder, attempted second-degree robbery in the June 14 killing of 43-year-old Tim Nielsen, an Auburn resident.
Dragula has been charged with shooting into an occupied car and personally discharging the gun that killed Nielsen, an indication that police believe him to be the shooter. Hein is charged as a “major participant” to the homicide who acted “with reckless disregard for human life,” the criminal complaint says.
Nielsen, a father of four and an employee of Any Capital Recovery was found dead on June 17th, 2021 at about 4:13 a.m. inside his 2019 Ford F450 tow truck that had crashed into a building in the 1800 block of East 12th Street at 19th Avenue in Oakland.
Police issued a probable cause statement that simply says that Dragula and Hein were identified by witnesses, without elaboration. Both men are in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on no-bail holds, having been arrested Sept. 28, court records show.
Dragula has twice been charged with felony gun possession this year, in February and July. He was out on bail on both cases at the time of his arrest, court records show.
