Leroy was one of five people riding in the rear of the Audi.
Emergency workers rushed her to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
The other occupants, including the 25-year-old driver, were also treated at area hospitals for various injuries.
Mouton was detained at the scene and later charged with driving without a license.
