Jackon stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 150 pounds.
Jackson has a violent criminal history including arrests for robbery with a deadly weapon, aiming a firearm at a person and drug possession. Police consider him armed and dangerous.
A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading directly to an arrest.
Anyone with information on Jackson’s whereabouts is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office or the service communications center at 1-800-336-0102.
