contents Here we consider the hypergraph Turán problem in uniformly dense hypergraphs as was suggested by Erdős and Sós. Given a $3$-graph $F$, the uniform Turán density $π_u(F)$ of $F$ is defined as the supremum over all $d\in[0,1]$ for which there is an $F$-free uniformly $d$-dense $3$-graph, where uniformly $d$-dense means that every linearly sized subhypergraph has density at least $d$. Recently, Glebov, Král', and Volec and, independently, Reiher, Rödl, and Schacht proved that $π_u(K_4^{(3)-})=\frac{1}{4}$, solving a conjecture by Erdős and Sós. Despite substantial attention, the uniform Turán density is still only known for very few hypergraphs. In particular, the problem due to Erdős and Sós to determine $π_u(K_4^{(3)})$ remains wide open. In this work, we determine the uniform Turán density of the $3$-graph on five vertices that is obtained from $K_4^{(3)-}$ by adding an additional vertex whose link forms a matching on the vertices of $K_4^{(3)-}$. Further, we point to two natural intermediate problems on the way to determining $π_u(K_4^{(3)})$, and solve the first of these.
