Aristotle died long before the historical Julius Caesar was born. Shakespeare wrote his play over 1600 years after Caesar's death. Aristotle didn't know anything about Caesar or Shakespeare's play.

Some people think that Aristotle's remarks on drama (which he based on one play, Oedipus Rex) are applicable to works written thousands of years later in an idiom which did not even exist in his time. It's a debatable point.

What was Aristotle's view of a tragic hero in Julius Caesar?

Aristotle died before the historical Julius Caesar was born, and over a millennium before Shakespeare wrote his play. In fact, in his Poetics, Aristotle was thinking exclusively of the play he had seen: Sophocles's Oedipus Rex. Of course there is no character in Julius Caesar who kills his father and marries his mother, so Aristotle's remarks are rather beside the point.In short, the notions of the "Aristotelian Unities" or the "tragic hero" were constructed many hundreds of years after Aristotle and were applied to drama from totally different traditions, such as English Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. Most of the writers of Shakespeare's time, including Shakespeare, could not possibly care less about Aristotle.
