Jackson was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach without incident.
Lyles was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the head on the sidewalk along South Clara Avenue near DeLand in the early morning hours of Nov. 6. He was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he died about 15 hours later.
An investigation led authorities to Jackson, who was seen by witnesses running from the scene of the shooting, according to police.
Investigators said they believe that the shooting was motivated by revenge and that Lyles may have robbed Jackson in the past.
In addition to the murder warrant, Jackson also had warrants for failure to appear in cases involving not having a valid driver's license, driving with a suspended license and failure to appear in a possession of marijuana under 20 grams.
